Please house assist me.

I have repaired my sienna 2005 LE car for three weeks consecutively spending huge money in coils, changing of oil every week which goes bad after a week again.

What could be the problem?

I have changed 10 coils between January and today, and changed oil this months like 4 times.

Oga, Coil or Oil is not your problem. Just logically diagnose the root cause of not starting.

Good evening house, please I have an urgent issue that needed urgent attention. I noticed there's an oil leak in my car , I wasn't sure at first but I finally checked underneath the protector today and I noticed the oil is actually leaking Here comes my problem, I took it to my mechanic and explained the issued with my Car, after checking for hours, he wasn't able to find where the leakage is coming from 2. So, he opened the bonnet , and check every part until he said the oil might be leaking from the Turbo side, note, he wasn't sure and he had to call someone to seek their opinion about it. The next thing the person said was my turbo is spoilt, like how ( note , the person diagnosed on phone, like he wasn't present) 3. Note. The car still works fine, just the ony issues is where to check for oil leakage , they're talking as if buying a new turbo engine is beans Please, what can I do .. The car works fine , the speed and everything is okay , just the oil leaking part , that's giving me concern, Please what did you suggest I do

I need one OBD2 scanner need for Honda Accord 2007.

Must it be very expensive?

What should I look out for?

Should I go with the cheap ones on Jumia and Konga?

I saw some between 3000-7000.

Will any of these be effective?

Car gurus kindly help with these questions.

Thanks
