How to Check if the Engine Has Problems When Buying a Used Car?

[ValeriaLynn]

Check the amount of dust in the engine compartment to initially assess wear and tear. However, pay special attention: if the engine compartment is spotless, it does not necessarily indicate less wear—it might have undergone major repairs. Look for any signs of oil leakage. Engine oil leakage could be due to excessively high engine temperatures in summer, which reduces sealing performance and leads to leaks. Inspect the oil level and color. If the oil level is too high, it indicates severe air leakage or water leakage in the engine.
