Engine Oil Leak: The Free Fix to Try Before Anything Else
Not every oil leak is a big-ticket repair — the most common cause is also the cheapest to fix.
The symptom
An oil stain appearing where you regularly park.
What's causing it
A loose oil filter or drain plug is the most common cause by far. A persisting leak can mean a valve cover or oil pan gasket.
What to do
Check the filter and drain plug first — a simple tighten often fixes it. Fast dripping or a rapidly dropping oil level needs a mechanic right away, not a wait-and-see approach.
