I just bought an 01 Civic. It has a leak, but the mechanic I brought it to who is extremely busy basically said the leak is minor and isn't worth fixing for a 10 year old car. He said it's not worth risking breaking something else in the process. I attached a few pics. I'm hope to get anyone's thoughts on this. Thanks.

 

A leak of what? From where?

That really looks like just 10 years of accumulated grime. There's nothing wet or dripping suggesting a serious leak. You could clean it off and then watch for where it reappears if there is a current leak. Of course check all the fluid levels and consider timing belt replacement if you don't know how old it is.

 

It was hard to understand the guy I brought it to as his english isn't the best. It leaves a small spot on the ground when parked. I'm not good with cars. Thanks for your help though. I appreciate that.

 

Also look at the oil pan as the gasket could be leaking other than that the one pic with the mount showing looks like it may have a VC leak but nothing serious looking. Purple Power is a great cleaner to get the oil and grime off to find out where its coming from.
