Engine oil leaks are covered under warranty and fall under the repair category, which can address actual leakage issues. The warranty period varies depending on the vehicle make. Hazards of oil leakage: Insufficient oil can easily lead to bearing seizure, cylinder scoring, and in severe cases, crankshaft breakage and engine block damage. Excessive oil affects vehicle performance and may cause oil mixing and burning. Causes of engine oil leaks: 1. Poor quality, material, or craftsmanship of products (parts). 2. Improper assembly, unclean mating surfaces, or improper installation procedures leading to gasket damage or displacement. 3. Uneven tightening of fasteners, thread stripping, or loosening causing functional failure. 4. Wear and tear of sealing materials over time, aging, deterioration, or deformation leading to failure.
