Does Engine Oil Leakage Require an Overhaul?
1 Answers
Engine oil leakage requires an overhaul. Reasons for requiring an overhaul: If it is a timing belt, it must be repaired. Because the belt cannot be contaminated with oil. When an accessory belt is contaminated with oil, it does not cause fatal damage to the engine. However, if the timing belt is contaminated with oil, any resulting issue can be very serious. Consequences of oil leakage: Although oil leakage does not affect the overall operation of the engine, it consumes the oil in the lubrication system (the leaked fluid is definitely engine oil). This gradually reduces the amount of oil in the lubrication system, leading to a decline in the effectiveness of the lubrication system over time and ultimately affecting the engine's lifespan.
