'99 Diablo Roadster oil leak

Head Gasket leaking oil...Does the engine have to be pulled out to fix?
How much money should it cost? Some figures I've heard are mind blowing!
Does anyone have experience with this problem?

Yes, engine has to come out...But maybe not all the way out. Should be about $2K in labor, and what ever the parts cost.

Raymondo...
Lamborghini Of Houston Looked At It Today And Put Dye In The Motor Oil And Found Out That It Isn't The Head Gaskett That Is Leaking, But ...some Part , I Can't Remember The Name Of It... That Can Leak.

If Anthing, They Told Me That I Wasn't Driving The Car Hard Enough.

Well then I guess you need to drive the car harder or let someone else do that for you

shame i am to far to do that

Valve cover? That would be easier. As far as driving it harder, I was told to near red line it every time out to keep the computers etc. all happy.

Steven,

Looking forward to doing some serious driving around Houston. I will help you keep it well exercised.
