I have a 1993 Mercedes Benz 300E that has an oil leak, a fairly big one. How much does that cost to fix?

You first have to find out where that oil leak is coming from. If it's from the top of the engine, it may be a bad valve cover gasket or a bad head gasket. If it's from the front, it could be the timing case cover that leaking or the front main seal. These are just examples though that I've mentioned, there are many more possibilities of where the oil may be coming from.





The prices to fix will vary greatly depending on what needs to be replaced.I have a 1993 Mercedes Benz 300E that has an oil leak, a fairly big one. How much does that cost to fix?
Everything costs more on a Mercedes. No one can tell you the price of fixing an oil leak until the source of the leak is known. It could be as simple as a stripped oil drain plug or valve cover screws need tightening. But if it is a rear crankshaft seal or other engine problem, it will cost a lot more. You need a substantial income to own a Mercedes, as they are one of the most expensive cars to maintain, especially as they get old.I have a 1993 Mercedes Benz 300E that has an oil leak, a fairly big one.

it depends what is leaking and why.





It will probably run $100 to $200 to tell you what is leaking and to provide an estimate for the repair.





Do not run the engine with low oil level - that will result in a repair bill far in excess of the value of the car.
I doubt that its the inexpensinve front main seal because u say its fairly big. I see many 300E with leaking head gaskets.
