What Are the Hazards of Engine Oil Leakage?
1 Answers
Engine oil leakage hazards are as follows: 1. The main hazard is the loss of engine oil, causing waste and environmental pollution. 2. Severe cases may lead to insufficient engine oil, resulting in engine damage, and even potential vehicle self-ignition. Common causes of engine oil leakage are as follows: 1. Damage to the front/rear crankshaft oil seal causing leakage. 2. Damage to the oil pan gasket or loose screws causing leakage. 3. Damage to the oil pump gasket or loose screws causing leakage. 4. Damage to the oil pan drain plug gasket, missing installation, or looseness causing leakage. 5. Improper assembly, damage, or loose screws of the timing gear cover gasket causing leakage. 6. Blockage of the rear crankshaft oil return thread by dirt causing leakage. Improper machining of the oil return thread or excessive coaxial deviation between the threaded journal and the oil seal seat hole causing leakage. 7. Poor sealing of the oil cooler/oil filter/valve cover gasket/distributor housing mounting hole causing leakage. 8. Deformation of the camshaft bearing rear cover/rocker arm cover or connecting rod cover/engine bracket plate, or poor gasket sealing causing leakage.
