What are the consequences of engine oil leakage?

[Quinn]

The consequences of engine oil leakage are: 1. Waste of engine oil; 2. Damage to the internal parts of the engine; 3. The engine temperature is very high, and oil leakage onto the engine or other high-temperature components can easily cause spontaneous combustion. The causes of engine oil leakage: 1. Damage or loosening of the oil pan gasket; 2. Damage, missing installation, or loosening of the oil pan drain plug gasket; 3. Improper assembly, damage, or loosening of the timing gear cover gasket. Generally, when a car experiences engine oil leakage, an indicator light will illuminate, and it is necessary to be vigilant and have the vehicle inspected when the light comes on. A small amount of oil consumption in a vehicle is normal, but long-term oil leakage is abnormal because prolonged leakage can cause severe wear to the engine pistons and cylinders due to lack of oil lubrication.
