I have the car listed above is a SES model, sedan. It has an oil leak in three different places. I was curious as to what this actually means. Like am I going to need to replace the whole oil pan or is my engine passed the point of no return?

Hello,

An engine can leak oil from a number of different places. It will all depend on where the leaks are and how severe they are.
It could leak from the oil pan gasket, as well as valve cover gasket, oil seals etc.

Let me know a few more details of where the leaks are coming from.

Here is a helpful guide on oil leaks:

I have attached the oil pan replacement procedure below for your reference.

Let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
