I went for an oil change today and was told I have oil leaks. From what they could see I have an oil sending unit leak, front and rear seal sweat, valve cover leak. How much should I expect to pay to have this fixed(question mark button is broken). I also have been topping up my coolant about once a week. Could these problems be related.

Hi there, the sender unit will only take a few Minuit's to replace and they cost around $25.00 depending on the brand, ( I will look it up and re post the price) the sweating front and rear seals are not a problem as this is quite normal and they should only be look at if they actually drip, the rocker cove may just need re tightening, as this is often all it takes to fix a leak here, As for the coolant leak, get a cooling system pressure test done first as this will locate any external coolant leaks, start here.
