Does Oil Seal Leakage Affect the Engine?
1 Answers
Oil seal leakage in a car can affect the engine, and severe cases may lead to internal engine damage. The causes of oil seal leakage and emergency handling methods are as follows: Causes of oil seal leakage: Non-petroleum-based lubricants were not used during the press-fitting process of the oil seal, causing the oil seal to loosen or even fall off after the engine has been used for some time. After prolonged use, the oil seal naturally ages, and cracks develop at the lip, leading to oil leakage. Emergency handling methods for oil seal leakage: If the crankshaft rear oil seal is leaking oil severely, immediately add some engine oil to the crankcase and then quickly drive the car to the nearest repair station for maintenance.
