Cost of fixing an oil leak on my Holden Trax?

How much does it cost to fix a leaking oil problem on my Holden Trax?

This is one of those 'how long is a piece of string' questions. It all depends on where the oil leak is coming from and what is involved in fixing it. If it’s a simple loose fitting that can be tightened in a minute or two, then it won’t cost much. But if the leak is coming from a gasket that requires the entire engine to be removed and disassembled to replace, then the cost will be much, much more.

Oil and coolant leaks can emanate from a huge number of locations on a modern engine, Sometimes just finding the source can take longer than actually fixing it. The best approach is to thoroughly clean the engine of all oil and gunk, and then drive it and keep checking until the oil reappears and track it back to the source.
