How Much Does a Sump Gasket / Oil Pan Cost?
A leaking sump (oil pan) gasket drips oil where you park. A Cranbourne West specialist explains the cost.
What drives the cost
Sump-gasket cost is driven by access — on many cars the sump is awkward to reach (subframe, exhaust or other parts in the way), and some sumps are sealed with a sealant rather than a gasket. A damaged sump (from a knock) means a new pan.
It’s labour that varies a lot by car, so a quote on your vehicle is the honest figure.
What the job involves
We confirm the leak is the sump (not higher up, running down), drop and reseal or replace the sump with the correct gasket/sealant, and refill with the right oil.
You get a fixed written quote once we’ve confirmed the source and access.
