What are the causes of clutch oil leakage?
1 Answers
The causes of clutch oil leakage include leakage from the engine crankshaft rear oil seal, where the leaked oil is engine oil with medium viscosity; leakage from the transmission front oil seal, where the leaked oil is gear oil with high viscosity; and leakage from the clutch slave cylinder, where the leaked oil is brake fluid with low viscosity. During driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily disconnect or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power from the engine to the transmission. Repair methods for clutch oil leakage: It is recommended to replace the assembly. Clutch slave cylinder leakage is caused by wear of the piston, sealing rings, and cups inside the slave cylinder, which fail to contain the clutch fluid. However, since clutch slave cylinder parts are not currently available, repairing or replacing sealing rings is not feasible, and the only solution is to replace the entire assembly. The normal service life of a car clutch master cylinder is 60,000 kilometers. The normal service life of a clutch plate, like that of brake pads, is not fixed and depends on factors such as driving habits, road conditions, and load. In other words, faster wear leads to a shorter lifespan, while slower wear results in a longer lifespan. When using a manual transmission clutch master cylinder, it is important to avoid resting your foot on the clutch pedal while driving. When starting, master the engagement point and avoid driving at high speeds in low gears. For automatic transmission vehicles, avoid sudden acceleration during driving.
