I am planning a weekend trip to Charleston SC which is about 3 hours from where I live. I was wondering if it would be ok to drive my '97 dodge neon that has an oil leak. The rear main seal is out about a quarter inch, so I have to put oil in about every 400 miles. The mechanic told me not to really go more than about 60 mph. The car runs all the time around town. I mean all the time, so I was wondering if I drive halfway to Charleston and stop for a while, and then drive the rest of the way, would it be ok. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

As long as you top it off and it's not real hot out it shouldn't be a problem. I would check it about halfway or even more just incase it's leaking more than first thought.
