Should a Slightly Leaking Oil Pan Be Repaired?
1 Answers
Oil pan slight leakage does not require repair. A very small amount of oil leaking out will not cause any impact on the engine. However, if the oil pan is leaking severely, it needs to be addressed promptly; otherwise, it will lead to increased oil consumption. When the oil level drops to a certain extent, it will naturally affect the lubrication effect of the oil on the engine. The following are the reasons for severe oil pan leakage: 1. Aging of the sealing gasket: The oil pan becomes loose due to the aging of the sealing gasket, leading to oil leakage. 2. Loose drain plug: This is especially common when frequently driving on poor road conditions.
