Should Mazda Engine Oil Leakage Be Repaired?

[RebeccaMarie]

New car engine oil leakage is mostly caused by assembly process or design defects, and you can ask the 4S store to replace the oil seal; for older cars, oil leakage is more due to the strong permeability of engine oil with prolonged use, which may seep a little from the oil seal. Just clean it up, as it's not a big issue and doesn't require repair. Below are relevant explanations: 1. Oil leakage: Oil leakage is a non-fault phenomenon, generally manifested as only a small amount of oil traces at the sealing point, with little reduction in lubricating oil, and no oil traces visible on the ground during driving or long-term parking. Oil leakage is a fault phenomenon, characterized by an abnormal increase in lubricating oil consumption, directly leaking liquid oil outside the car. If this occurs, immediate repair is needed. 2. Causes of oil leakage: There are two causes of engine oil leakage: one is the natural permeation of engine oil, and the other is caused by minor damage or loosening and aging of car components. Regardless of the cause, oil leakage is not an engine fault and will not significantly affect the vehicle's condition. Just monitor whether there are significant changes in the engine oil level during future use.
