Hello,

I have a 2000 Mazda 626 V6 with a small oil leaking. I fill up every 4 months or so. Is it a big problem for the engine? Do I need to fix the head gasket now? How much it usually costs to fix it? Thanks for your answers!

Hi there,

Wash the motor down and have it inspected on a hoist. Have you a certain head gasket oil leak or is this just a presumption? best to have the leak identified first before doing anything else.
