    How much does it cost to fix an engine oil leak?
    I have a 1997 Ford taurus and I've noticed that every once in a while, a small puddle of oily substance is underneath my car. What does that mean and how much will it cost to fix it?

    It may only mean the oil pan drain bolt needs snugging up. Similarly, the oil filter may only need tightening. Try these things first.

    If the fluid is pink, it's automatic transmission fluid.
