Consequences of oil leakage in a 2011 Buick Excelle engine: It will affect the engine's working efficiency, leading to reduced vehicle power; it may cause abnormal noises, and the engine may experience unstable idling or poor acceleration during operation; overtaking performance may also be compromised. Specific details are as follows: Damaged oil pan: Since most vehicles have relatively low ground clearance, if the driver operates the vehicle on rough or poor road conditions, the oil pan may be damaged due to scraping the bottom or being hit by flying stones. As the container for storing engine oil, the oil pan will immediately leak oil once damaged (most oil pans today are made of aluminum alloy, but a few are made of stamped steel plates). Loose or stripped drain plug: If the vehicle is undergoing maintenance or an oil change, and the staff's negligence or improper operation causes the drain plug to become loose or stripped, the engine will inevitably leak oil.
