Not Good... :(, Took it to the mechanic.. Options

[StylnPlane]

So, today, i took the celi to th mechanic. Ive had a oil leak.. need to know where its coming from. They hoist it up, n tell me it good be various things. Apperently they think its my head gasket... But it could be somthing as simple as a seal... i dont think it is though. They couldnt give me a straight answer, kind of annoying. I guess i cant really find out till rip the whole d*mn thing apart. The problem is $$$$$ this celi is starting to be a money pit.

what do I do guys?
Fix the problem...only for it to be wrong.. spend possible $1000
Or.. Do an engine swap?

Its not a head gasket. Those don't leak oil.

Your best bet is to learn how to do the repair yourself. You can take pictures, ask questions and maybe even find a few people willing to help you learn how to fix your car.
A swap wont help you either because A. most shops dont know how to do one, and B. they would charge you a lot more money than 1,000$.

So basically learn to fix it yourself, and after a while you will have the confidence to even do your own swap!
