Is Engine Oil Leakage a Major or Minor Issue?

[SkylarLee]

Whether engine oil leakage is a major or minor issue depends on the specific situation. Below is a detailed explanation of engine oil leakage scenarios: 1. Minor Oil Leakage: This may simply be caused by engine oil vapor and is generally not a major issue. It can be addressed during the next scheduled maintenance or when convenient at a 4S shop. 2. Significant Oil Stains: Or direct oil leakage, which is a serious condition requiring immediate repair. This is to prevent potential risks such as spontaneous combustion due to excessive temperatures or severe oil loss, which could damage the engine. Rubber sealing components, after prolonged exposure to high-temperature and high-pressure environments, may age, leading to oil leakage once they deteriorate.
