2001 Ford Escape 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

I went to 3 different repair shops to get an estimate on getting my oil leak fixed two of them told me it was my oil pan and one told me it was my right-rear headgasket.I want to know if there is a way to tell if your headgasket is going bad?

Problem with oil leaks is that it gets everywhere. Best bet is to clean the engine off really good so that there are no visible oil leaks. Then drive it for a few miles and look at it. Black light dye can also be used to pinpoint the origin of leaks. Sometimes the head gasket will start to fail and it will leak externally. Sometimes they leak internally

Yah and on these they have a lot packed in a small space - very hard to see ANYTHING. Best bet is just add a little now and then and park on the gravel.
