Truck is leaking oil…have been told tht motor needs to be removed in order to fix it…what is the going rate for work. I don’t want to be ripped .
Your location makes a difference in cost where ever that is . You just get estimates and then decide . Also you did not say where the leak is or how much it leaks .
Varies widely by geographic area. Where I am in a suburb of Philadelphia, it’s usually around $105 per flat rate hour.
That usually means the rear main seal.
Before spending big money on a 20 year old truck, I’d add this to the engine oil.

Had a 2003, manufacturing defect, particles left in the head caused oil to leak on the manifold, tsb but no repair. Put in a plate to redirect the oil so I would not get smogged out by fumes while sitting in the cab. Not sure if it is the same issue for yours.
