What Causes Engine Oil to Spray from the Radiator?
1 Answers
If engine oil is spraying from the radiator, it is recommended to replace the crankcase ventilation valve. Below are the reasons why engine oil may spray from the radiator: 1. Aging of the crankcase ventilation valve: Failure of components such as pistons, cylinder liners, piston pins, or piston rings can lead to loss of sealing effectiveness, resulting in oil spraying from the radiator. 2. Severe wear between the valve stem and valve guide: Excessive wear between the valve stem and valve guide creates too large a gap, causing oil to spray from the radiator. 3. Excessive exhaust gases in the engine: If the piston rings lose their sealing function, high-pressure gases from the cylinders can leak into the crankcase ventilation system, increasing pressure and forcing oil to spray out from the radiator.
