Should the Rear Crankshaft Oil Seal Leakage Be Repaired?
1 Answers
If the rear crankshaft oil seal leakage is not too severe, replacement is unnecessary; however, if the leakage is particularly noticeable, it should be replaced. The main causes of rear crankshaft oil seal leakage include the following aspects: 1. Natural aging of automotive parts. When a car has been driven for too many years, the rear crankshaft oil seal may age, causing cracks at the lip and resulting in oil leakage. 2. Incompatible lubricant. If a non-petroleum-based lubricant is not used during the production of the rear crankshaft oil seal, it may lead to loosening and detachment of the seal, ultimately causing oil leakage. 3. Non-parallel pressing and installation surfaces of the rear oil seal. If the pressing and installation surfaces of the rear oil seal are not parallel, uneven force distribution on the lip may occur, leading to deformation during long-term compression and resulting in oil leakage. Note: The oil seal is used to seal lubricating oil, isolating lubricated components from various oils to prevent leakage.
