How to Solve Engine Oil Leakage?
2 Answers
Solutions for engine oil leakage: Replace the sealing ring or gasket. If the leakage is severe, it should be taken seriously, and it is recommended to go to a repair station for inspection. Once the engine oil decreases, the internal temperature of the engine will rise, leading to wear and tear of engine parts and even cylinder scuffing. If the leakage is minor or includes oil vapor, it will not have a significant impact on the engine. Common causes of engine oil leakage: 1. Damage to the oil pan gasket or loose screws causing leakage, damage to the oil pan drain plug gasket or loose plug causing leakage; 2. Deformation of the engine support plate or poor sealing of the gasket causing leakage; 3. Poor sealing of the valve cover gasket causing leakage; 4. Damage to the front or rear crankshaft oil seal causing leakage, poor sealing of the camshaft bearing rear cover causing leakage; 5. Turbocharger oil leakage.
After discovering an oil leak in my car's engine, I first parked the car and checked under the hood for any oil stains. The source is usually at the oil seal, gasket, or loose screws. I cleaned the oil-stained area myself, observed for two days to locate the leak point, then replaced the oil seal and applied sealant. The issue is now resolved. I recommend everyone to regularly inspect these components during maintenance to prevent oil leaks from spreading, which could cause fires or environmental pollution. If the problem worsens, repairs will be more expensive. Remember, safety first—don't risk accidents from an overheating engine while driving.
