Can the Rear Shock Absorber Still Be Used If It's Leaking Oil?

[JulianaFitz]

Rear shock absorber oil leakage can be categorized into minor seepage and more severe leakage. Minor leakage: Minor seepage is characterized by a small amount of oil stains on the shock absorber, but it does not affect the vehicle's comfort and is no different from a normal shock absorber. This type of seepage can be ignored for the time being, but it is important to regularly monitor the leakage condition. Severe leakage: More severe leakage refers to a large amount of oil sludge on the shock absorber. Oil leakage from the shock absorber will deteriorate the vehicle's damping effect, significantly impacting driving comfort. On bumpy roads, it may sometimes be accompanied by a "squeaking" noise. Regardless of the cause of the seepage, it is not an engine malfunction and will not have a major impact on the vehicle's condition. As long as you keep an eye on whether there are significant changes in the oil level during future use, it should be fine.
