Those particular vehicles are not known for longevity. Transmission problems actually top the list.

What criteria are "they" (whoever "they" are) using to determine that your engine is shot? Was it damaged due to the oil filter housing leak? Does it have poor compression? Does it have a rod knock? Is it burning a lot of oil?


Hello. It was leaking oil from the housing. They have done compression test it has loss compression. The oil is milky looking. Just

Get a compression test to see if it's really shot.

Sounds like a possible blown head gasket, maybe worn piston rings depending on whether compression is being lost through the gasket. Cracked cylinder head or block are possibilities as well. Was it ever overheated?

If coolant is getting into the oil continuing to drive it will destroy the engine bearings, but that engine may be toast anyway.
