It might cost a few hunderd(100-200) to fix at the most! But it would help to know what part of the motor is leaking(front or back or even what side right or Left) Answered by Mr. Butler(really I am)

Usually the most expensive oil leak to fix would be the rear main seal. This is due to the fact that the transmission will have to be removed. If it is the fromt main seal or intermediate shaft seal the front of the engine will have to be disassembled. If this is done by a reputable mechanic, the timing belt,tensionor and valve cover gasket are all replaced at that time.I would pay a couple of dolars for a can of Gunk engine degreaser,goto a car wash,spray on all signs of oil and pressure wash it off. Drive a few miles and then look to find exactly where the leak is.

Where did you change the Oil & Filter? Did they Say anything about Oil Leaks?
Car, 2000 with 90,000 Mikes? V6 or V8?
Oil Pan Gasket? Head Gasket(s)? Timing Belt Cover? Valve Cover(s)? Front or rear Crank Seals? Etc.??
What Have You been Told about The Leak(s)?

You can buy a dye that you put in your oil so you can see where its leaking from.Most leaks don't cost that much to fix.The most expensive are the front and rear main seals which are rare on a Honda.

If you just got the oil changed and it suddenly
started to leak, I'd look for a loose drain plug
or poorly tightened oil filter before I panicked.

Would help to know where the leak is coming from, but I can't think of any leak that would cost thousands to fix>

check the drain plug or the engine is high mileage which burns oil and leaks it

when was the last time you ever change the oil? are you sure it's the oil not the transmission or power steering?
