Oil Leaks &
Engine Fluid
Don’t wait until oil stains your Perth driveway or covers your engine. At Midland Tune and Service Centre, we quickly identify and fix oil or fluid leaks, saving you money and stress.
Why Early Oil Leak Detection Matters
Many vehicle owners ignore initial oil or power steering fluid leaks because no visible damage appears immediately. Leaks at the bottom of the engine often go unnoticed, and the problem seems minor at first glance.
Even small leaks signal the beginning of serious problems. Engine oil damages all non-metal components in your vehicle. This includes rubber engine mounts, coolant hoses, drive belts, air conditioning components, and power steering belts.
Untreated leaks create a costly cycle. Oil damages rubber components, which then fail and leave you facing unexpected repairs. Your vehicle’s safety becomes compromised, and new components continue to be damaged by ongoing leaks.
We only use the appropriate fluids for your vehicle
Quality Oil Matters
The science of motor vehicle oils today is complex. At Midland Tune and Service Centre, we only use manufacturer-specified oils to protect your engine and maximise its lifespan. We proudly use Australian-owned Penrite Oil, a company with 90 years of local heritage.
Understanding Oil Lifespan
Engine oil has a limited effective lifespan – typically 6 months or 8,000-10,000km. Even vehicles with low mileage require regular oil changes due to oil’s natural shelf life and degradation over time.
Protecting Your Car
Regular servicing at Midland Tune and Service Centre ensures your car is protected from damage. Without regular oil changes, your engine can develop harmful sludge deposits that restrict oil flow. This can eventually lead to complete engine seizure, a costly repair that’s entirely preventable with proper maintenance.

Oil and Engine Fluid Leaks
Q: What causes an oil leak?
A: Seals and gaskets are made of various substances, for example, cork, rubber, or glue. The heat from the engine operation every use is aging and deteriorating your seals and gaskets. During every service at Midland Tune & Service Centre, we inspect your vehicle for all leaks of all engine fluids not just oil leaks. Our mechanics will take note of these in the vehicle report for your information. The team at Midland Tune & Service Centre can produce a free quote for repairs of any leaks.
Q: What causes an engine fluid leak?
A: Your vehicle has many “fluids” and grease for operation, power steering fluid, brake fluid, engine oil, transmission oils etc and coolant. Fluid leaks are mostly caused by the aging of components, such as seals, plastic parts, clamps loosening with time. Engine fluids are damaging to your vehicle’s rubber and plastic parts, such as engine mounts, radiator hoses and wiring harnesses. Repairs to engine fluid leaks while the leaks are minor saves you time and money. If you believe you have a fluid leak, don’t hesitate to call our professional and experienced team!
Q: How much does it cost to fix an oil/engine leak?
A: This would depend on where the leak is, the extent of the damage and the replacement parts needed. At Midland Tune & Service Centre, we use genuine seals and refill your vehicle with (Australian Owned) Penrite Oil products.
Q: Can I stop my oil leak with a DIY solution?
A: We don’t recommend DIY stop leak additives. While some additives may provide short term “fixes”, leaking seals and gaskets made of rubber will continue to deteriorate. These will eventually fail completely at some point, potentially causing catastrophic engine damage. Save time and money by having a licensed mechanic from Midland Tune & Service Centre repair your minor leaks before they cause further issues.
