Sorry if this is in wrong section

I have a Volvo 850 auto saloon

Great car but it has an oil leak at the base of the engine which I am assured by my mechanic can only be cured by taking the engine out..he says the car is not worth the expense and to just put up with leak...while I value his advice I am going away on holiday soon and there is designated parking for my car..I am worried that there will be oil all over the place while I am there..anyone know of a way to slow down or stop oil leak please

Thank you

What gave it away? The fact that there's an Autowirral section specifically for car problems or .. ?

why do you have to be so "clever" OK so I made a mistake

what car is it bud?
