What are the effects of a damaged oil seal?
1 Answers
Automotive oil seals are critical mechanical components designed to contain oil, isolating the parts requiring lubrication from the output components in the transmission system. If damaged, they can lead to oil leakage. Here is additional information: 1. Oil Seal: The term 'oil seal' is a common designation for general sealing components, essentially referring to the sealing of lubricating oil to contain grease. Sealing elements used for static and dynamic sealing are called oil seals. The representative form is the TC oil seal, a double-lipped seal fully encased in rubber with a self-tightening spring, commonly referred to as the TC skeleton oil seal. 2. Precautions: If an oil seal starts leaking, it is imperative to replace it immediately at a 4S shop or repair facility. Prolonged leakage not only contaminates the engine with dirt and wastes engine oil but may also cause internal engine damage. Taking the valve oil seal as an example, if it leaks, it can lead to rapid engine oil consumption, resulting in oil burning phenomena.
