In the case of oil seal leakage without disassembly, sealant can be used for temporary sealing, but oil seal leakage will accelerate oil consumption. It is recommended to replace the new oil seal as soon as possible, and always pay attention to the position and state of the self-tightening spring. Automobile fluid leakage is common after the vehicle has been stationary for a long time, especially in winter. The more the car drains, the more fully the oil burns, and the better the vehicle's power.

I've also encountered oil seal leaks before, like engine oil seals aging and causing lubricant to seep out. If you don't want to disassemble for repairs, you can try emergency methods: clean the leaking area and apply a special sealant or spray a leak stopper, which can temporarily fill small cracks. Last time, I applied some silicone-based sealing paste to the leak point, waited for it to dry for half an hour, and the leakage reduced significantly. But remember, this is just a temporary fix. Over time, oil buildup might make it worse. Check the oil level regularly to avoid engine damage from low oil. It's best to go to a repair shop as soon as possible to replace the new oil seal—safe and worry-free.

Is there still an annual inspection sticker for vehicle inspection in 2021?

In 2021, vehicles no longer require any physical stickers to be displayed. Since June 2020, China has implemented electronic annual inspection labels nationwide. When vehicle owners complete their annual inspection, they will not receive a paper inspection sticker. Instead, they can directly obtain the electronic inspection label through the Traffic Management 12123 app. Important notes for vehicle annual inspection: Upon arrival at the inspection station, the first step is the exterior inspection. The vehicle owner needs to park the car in the designated inspection area, prepare the fire extinguisher and triangular warning sign, open the engine compartment and trunk, and wait for the staff to conduct the inspection. During the exterior inspection, the staff will provide two forms: the Motor Vehicle Inspection Record Form and the Motor Vehicle Safety Technical Inspection Certificate (some inspection stations may require owners to collect these forms from the service hall themselves). The staff will check and record the vehicle's frame number, engine number, and other details, while also verifying the presence of safety equipment such as the triangular warning sign and fire extinguisher.

What does the semi-engaged state mean?

Semi-engagement refers to a working state of the clutch. Here is the relevant information: Clutch semi-engagement: At this time, the clutch disc and the flywheel are not in close contact, but are lightly pressed together with relative sliding between them. This is the semi-engaged state. In terms of the clutch pedal, it means the pedal is not fully released, approximately halfway. When slowly releasing the clutch, once you feel the engagement, hold the clutch steady at that position. This is called the half-clutch or semi-engaged state. Wear: During semi-engagement, because the clutch disc and flywheel are in sliding friction, the clutch disc will experience more wear. However, as long as the engine speed is not too high and the duration is not too long, the wear won't be too severe. There's no need to worry too much about it. The primary concern should be maintaining the vehicle's smooth and safe operation, with wear being a secondary consideration.
