What Causes Engine Oil Leakage?

[ReidRose]

Engine oil leakage is caused by the aging or damage of sealing components. Here are the solutions for engine oil leaks: 1. Valve cover oil leak: More common in vehicles used for about 5 years, requiring replacement of the valve cover gasket. 2. Engine timing cover oil leak: Remove the engine timing cover and reapply sealant. If the oil filter is installed too loosely or tightly, or if a low-quality oil filter is used, it must be replaced with a new one. 3. Oil pan drain plug looseness or damage: Tighten or replace the drain plug. The drain plug washer provides a certain sealing effect, and it is best to replace this washer regularly according to the maintenance cycle.
