Default Where in Socal to fix an oil leak?

Anyone know where i can take my 95 auto civic ex to get an oil leak fix done for decent price? The oil is leaking big time from the oil pan area and the bottom rear area of engine. Looking for a place close to cerritos area. Gonna try to avoid the dealership at all cost, and need a trustworthy place. any help appreciated

Chances are its just the oil pan gasket. There are I believe 12 nuts to remove...10mm.......take em off, drop the oil pan, and then just put a new gasket on and put the pan back on. Make sure u drain the oil before you do this lol.

pm's you hari

the oil is definitely coming from the oil pan, but it seems like the oil is leaking everywhere, including dripping off the exhaust next to the pan, and on other side (passenger side) from under the housing. can a leaking pan get all over under the engine?

just bought an oil pan gasket from the dealer, $35...ouch
