Oil Leak Repair in Boise, ID

Cooling System Repair in Boise, IDCooling System Repair in Boise, ID

An oil leak isn’t just “a little mess.” It can turn into low oil levels, engine damage, burning smells, and even a fire risk if oil reaches hot parts.

In Boise, short trips, cold starts, and summer heat can make seals and gaskets wear faster, and once a leak starts, it usually gets worse over time.

At Sager & Sons Auto, we don’t guess. We pinpoint the source, show you what we find, and repair the leak so your engine stays protected.

Why Oil Leaks Should Not Be Ignored

An oil leak may start small, but it rarely stays that way. What begins as a few drops can quickly turn into low oil levels, engine damage, or overheating.

Oil leaks can also allow oil to drip onto hot engine or exhaust components, creating burning smells, smoke, and potential safety risks.

Ignoring an oil leak often leads to bigger repairs later. Finding and fixing the source early helps protect your engine, prevent fluid loss, and avoid costly damage.

Oil Leak Repair FAQs

Is it safe to drive with an oil leak?

Sometimes for a short time, but it depends on how fast it’s leaking and where the oil is going. If your oil light comes on, you smell burning oil, or see smoke, stop driving and call us.

What happens if I ignore an oil leak?

Oil levels can drop and cause internal engine wear or failure. Leaks can also damage rubber components and create a burning smell (or worse if oil hits hot exhaust parts).

How do you find where the leak is coming from?

We inspect common leak points and verify the exact source. The goal is to fix the real cause — not replace parts blindly.

How long does oil leak diagnosis and repair take?

Diagnosis is usually same-day. Repair time depends on the location of the leak, some gaskets are quick, others require more labor to access.

Do you check anything else while you’re inspecting for a leak?

Yes, we’ll check oil level/condition and look for related concerns like coolant leaks, belt contamination, or other fluid leaks.
