How can you check to see if the engine is leaking oil?
I own a Honda civiv 98 hatchback standard.
I suspect that my engine may be leaking oil. There may be black oily spots left by my car. This is what someone else told me they noticed. I'm going to check tonight to see if there are any oily spots left under my parked car. I just changed the oil after 8,000km and the mechanic told me he noticed there was very little oil left in the engine when he changed the oil. I do a lot of stop and start driving for around 3-4 hours non-stop everyday. How can you check for engine oil leaks and what could be causing this? How expensive is it to repair?
