Should a Slightly Leaking Oil Pan Be Repaired?

[OwenAnn]

The slight leakage of an oil pan mainly falls into the following two scenarios: 1. A minor seepage from the oil pan can be temporarily left unrepaired, with repairs to be done later at a 4S shop. 2. However, severe seepage requires immediate repair; 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. Additional Information: 1. The function of the oil pan is to enclose the crankcase as the shell of the oil reservoir, preventing impurities from entering, and to collect and store the lubricating oil flowing back from the friction surfaces of the diesel engine, dissipating some heat and preventing the oxidation of the lubricating oil. 2. The oil pan is mostly made of stamped thin steel plates, equipped with an oil stabilizing baffle inside to avoid oil splashing caused by engine jolts, which helps in the precipitation of lubricating oil impurities. A dipstick is installed on the side to check the oil level.
