I have a 96' Nissan Maxima and it has an oil leak?

I have to add about a quart a week it doesn't leak very big spots but it leaks everytime I park the car and leave it there for awhile. What I am really asking is how expensive can this get..It doesnt just need the bolts tightend either.I have a 96' Nissan Maxima and it has an oil leak?
could be a lot of things, but most likely a head gasket which would cost a pretty good chunk of change. Get the head gasket, timing belt, water pump etc. changed all together.I have a 96' Nissan Maxima and it has an oil leak?
It could be a leak or it could be consuming oil. You'll just have to get under there and look for leaks. And have someone follow you while you hit the gas to look for oil smoke. Fixing it could range from a quick valve cover gasket to a new engine.
It could be a bolt, but likely is the front or rear crankshaft seal. That is a fairly expensive repair. Hopefully not coming from a loose drain plug. If that drops out, bye bye engine.
well it depends on how much oil you want to keep putting in.....over time it might be cheaper to have it fix and you wont have to worry about it no more....just take to the dealer
Hard to tell how much it would cost without knowing exactly where it is leaking from.It could be an easy fix,$1-200.00,or major,$1,000.00+
