My 95 SL II, 150,000 kms, is leaking oil. I had it checked and was told the oil pan (rusted out) and head gasket would need replacing, and probably not worth it given the age of the car. The main pain to me is the mess the leaking oil is making in the driveway. I was planning of selling the car and getting another within the next six months. Question: If I don't have the head gasket and oil pan replaced what can I expect. Right now I just watch the oil level and add some if needed? Would it be worth it to have the replacements made given the age and kms on the car? I really need the car (cannot replace it) for at least the next 3 months. How can I guess how much longer the car will run without the repairs? Thanks in advance for any help.
