What are the symptoms of vehicle oil leakage?
1 Answers
Automobile oil leakage generally occurs in locations such as the brakes, front and rear oil seals of the half-shaft, the engine oil pan, and shock absorbers. The details are as follows: Brake fluid leakage locations: Brakes are different from other components. Any sign of oil seepage should raise immediate concern because brake fluid leakage directly affects driving safety. Once the brakes fail, the consequences can be unimaginable. Brake fluid leakage most commonly occurs near the wheel at the brake drain holes, brake fluid reservoir, and brake pedal. Any abnormality must be repaired promptly. Front and rear oil seal leakage of the half-shaft: Oil seals are mechanical components used to seal oil. If the oil seal is not installed properly, it will leak. Generally, the front crankshaft oil seal is more likely to leak, while the rear crankshaft oil seal has a lower chance of leakage. Oil seals are wear parts and will age over time, leading to leakage once they deteriorate.
