Is Minor Transmission Oil Seepage Serious?
1 Answers
Automobile oil seepage is a normal phenomenon. If it's minor seepage, it's not a big issue; but if it's oil leakage, then it's more serious and should be repaired immediately. Most oil seepage occurrences are caused by seal corrosion and aging, especially in vehicles that have been used for a long time. Below is relevant information about automobile oil seepage: 1. Automobiles are consumables. With prolonged use, the sealing components in various parts will harden and age, losing their original elasticity. Under the high-intensity working conditions of the transmission, seals will gradually shrink, harden, and may eventually break, leading to transmission oil seepage or leakage, which is unavoidable. 2. Minor transmission oil seepage is not a serious issue, but you should keep an eye on it and have it addressed during your next visit to the shop. If the transmission exhibits more severe oil leakage, it is necessary to promptly go to a 4S shop or a professional auto repair shop for maintenance or replacement. Otherwise, insufficient oil in the transmission can lead to inadequate lubrication, accelerated wear, rough gear shifting, weak acceleration, unusual noises, jerking, and other issues. In severe cases, it may cause the transmission to seize up and become damaged.
