Hello,I just took my car to the shop because I noticed a little bit of fluid leaking at the bottom of it after storing it in the garage for about a week. However, the leak has stopped since then.

When I took it to the dealer (German Auto World in Aventura, FL) (Which, btw was very unprofessional and rude) they said that I needed to change my positive crank case ventilation valve.

The guy said that the work would cost:

1,181.50 dollars.

He also said that that I needed a new fluid filter, and that would cost

221.00

Is this usually how much it costs to change this ventilation valve?

He said if I didnt change it oil would leak all over my engine and mess it up.

What are the chances that my problem could be the Ventilation Valve?

I plan on getting a new oil change, would that help the problem out at all?

What do you guys think? Thanks

How is a way that I can check to see if it really is the positive crank case that needs to be changed?

Thanks!!
