New car loan- drop in points?

If I get a new car loan, or lease- there will be hit against my score?

 

How long of paying it on time until the "break even" on the score hit?

 Your score MAY go down depending on a few things. But it doesn't happen to everybody. Long term it's not an issue, it will rebound based on your credit card usage and paying on-time on the installment loan (auto, school, home).

After 6 months of on time payments on the car loan - will it help my mortgage scores go up?

Scores are impacted whenever one drops or adds a tradeline. Over time, score will recover.

I got approved for an auto loan and my scores stayed the same. Approval was 5/15/15
