Hi guys, let's say oil gasket gave way Liao resulted in the leaking. I suspect Nia coz found oil stain in the porch . Wanna find out what's the typical cost of fixing this issue. This is for my 6 years old w204 c250. Thanks.

Apply dye and trace better than guessing

Depends where the oil is leaking from?

If it's only the head cover gasket, it's quite cheap to replace.

If it's the flywheel oil seal or other seals that require disassembling many parts, it will be more expensive.

Rapprochement it's Appreciate the advice bro.

need to check where the oil leaks from,
oil pan, headgasket, or mayb just oil filter.

but when you drive a merc, workmanship automatically +RM500

Besides the advice already given, what affects price most is where you send the car for the repair works to be done.

If you send to Merc repair shop in Segambut area, it's way cheaper than any other workshop in PJ.

Lol! This one I service outside of franchise la! My other two got no choice still under warranty so Kena chop carrot kao kao by the franchise.

Bro, can pm the shop name? Tq , I live around OUG area.

Remember, what ever, to replace seals or gasket , go for experienced foreman and make sure that person that is going to do the job knoes what he is doing.
To cut a story short, if the foreman uses extra force to try to open something, there is a possibility that he might break something that is irreplaceable , happened to me once and that was a very expensive lesson learnt, true story !!!

replace cheap , but then will start la many other things

Hi guys, went to the mechanic and found out that the front control arm bushings gave way that resulted in the oil leak. Replaced them in pair and ouch...my wallet hurts ! Lol!

Which gasket? Oil pan is cheap.

When last change shock absorbers?

No bro! Front control arm bushings damaged. Never change adsorber before since new.

Change also. If not engine will have other leak issue as well. Shock absorbers / arm bushing mounting must change, else other component damaged.

How much cost? Import these parts cheaper then find labor workshop to fix it.

depends where it leaks..and check ur engine oil...whether the oil level is ok or not.

1. timing belt....then ask the car technician or boss to check...few hundred to replace
2. if coil ignition is wet from oil..then could be gasket leak
3. others..especially engine...then overhaul

errr...engine gasket and control arm bushing totally different location wor.
you didnt notice oil drip near where mer? engine or nearer to tyre
btw, control arm ada oil punya mer?

like engine mountings, some car makers are designing their lower arms aka control arms to have oil/hydraulic-filled rubber bushes. They say this can better isolate NVH...... even latest Mazdas was reported to sport these improvements too

Engine gasket no leak. Ignition coil also in working state.

Ya....saya punya ada oil!

Spot on bro! Mine is conti...oil leaked from the rubber bushes! Wear and tear la....thanks to our my expert road structures. Road hump everywhere.
