Holden Astra 2006: Oil leaking

I was concerned recently when my dealer told me that my 2006 Holden Astra Convertible had developed an oil leak and would be very expensive to fix. I got another opinion and was told there was a lot of oil around the head gasket that would need investigating. My concern is the car has only done 78,000 km and has been very well looked after, never thrashed or driven roughly. Any come back with Holden?

The first thing you must do is to find the cause of the leak. Depending on what that cause proves to be you might then be in a position to approach Holden for help. Until you do that there's nothing Holden can do for you.
