Question
Hello,
I went to get an oil change, and the guy said that the gaskit is leaking. What is that? will the car die on me?How much does that cost to get repaired?
                                     Thank you in advance

Answer
This is not a body work questions, but I do know the answer. What he means is that the oil pan on the bottom of the engine has a leak. It is a minor fix and can be done in your driveway. Drain all the oil and then remove the 10 bolts that hold the oil pan on, replace the gasket and reinstall. Make sure to clean the old gasket off good.
