I've recently noticed that there appears to be an oil leak and am wondering if this could be a result of the work that was done? I don't know much about that part of the car, evidently. I had a lot of trouble getting the repairs done properly and if the oil leak is unrelated I'd rather go to a different mechanic, but if it's the fault of the guys who did the head, I want them to fix it! Also, I know it's a tricky one given that I don't know where the leak is coming from, but any idea what it would cost to repair, best/worst case scenario? Given the recent cost with the head I'm dreading another pricey job. Thanks, Kat, South Australia. Hi there,
