smells fishy!
 

hi,
I recently posted a message asking about how long a oil pan gasket should take.

I went in with an oil leak and they replaced the oil pan gasket. I was charged 4.5 hours for the job. My car is still leaking oil!
Any advise on how I should approarch this situation?
I'm predicting the mechanic is going to feed me some BS about it being a new leak.
thank you!

I think they told you the wrong leak from the begining.

I will bet it is either the Vent box or the rear main seal leaking.

How can I proove that to the mechanic? Or how should I approach the mechanic about it?
After paying him so much, I can't afford to ahve this leak fixed!
I sure wish it wasn't so difficult to find a good mechanic!

Go back to him and complain he didn't fix the leak.
Make him clean the engine really good and put oil dye in it and drive it for a day or so and return and have him look at it with a black light to find the leak.
