How to Identify Engine Oil Leaks?
1 Answers
Engine oil leaks can be identified from the following points: 1. Observe whether there is oil leakage around the engine periphery; 2. Notice if there is oil on the ground when the engine is stationary, and the engine fault indicator light will illuminate. Oil leakage refers to the escape of engine oil, which is caused by damage to engine cylinder gaskets, oil pan gaskets, sealing rings, or front and rear crankshaft oil seals, camshaft oil seals, or loosening of various fastening screws. The main hazards of engine oil leakage are the loss of oil, resulting in waste, and in severe cases, it can lead to insufficient oil and subsequent engine damage. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, plays roles in lubricating and reducing friction, assisting in cooling, sealing to prevent leaks, preventing rust and corrosion, and cushioning vibrations, and is hailed as the 'blood' of the car.
