Have a substantial oil leak, i think it is originating on the drivers side of the motor. I don't see any coolant in the oil. The oil pan is obscured from view in this area, because of the exhaust line and transmission. Could it just be an oil pan gasket or is there other things that could leak in this area?
SOURCE: Oil leak
probably a pan leak ... if the head was leaking like that you would be mixing up a storm....
SOURCE: Tear in oil pan
I would say less than $200. It is just 12-14 bolts to removed, pan dropped, new gasket, reinstall and fill with oil
SOURCE: oil leaking into cooling system but no coolant in
Looks like a head gasket failure. Oil is escaping out of the engine and within the engine into the coolant passageways. The oil pressure system is run at higher pressure than the coolant pressure and fortunately this has so far kept the water from entering the oil and crankcase. I have no faith at all in any after-market product that claims it can repair leaks by simply adding it to the coolant or oil and taking a head off is not a trivial task. It may also be that the head has warped (this would also cause the leak) and this in turn will require it to be re-machined. Head gaskets are not expensive but due to the work involved this could be one occasion when a visit to a machine shop is the best option.
