My S40 has been leaking small drops of oil on the passenger side for a few weeks. I took it to local shop and they said they did not have the tools to make the repair and that I should take it to the dealer. Dealer took a look at and believes it is the seals and likely the hubs need to be replaced. All in I am looking at $2,500. Car is a 2006 and has treated me well but at this point I am having trouble justifying the expense. Dealer mentioned the oil could damage the timing belt. I took a look and from what I can see the belt looks to be in good shape. The car has not indicated a low oil alert. I use the car primarily for short trips of no more than 10 miles. Realistically, how long would I be able to drive the car as this point? Is there anything that I could do as a band aid at this point to keep me in the car for a few months?
