What Causes Oil Leakage from a Car's Chassis?
1 Answers
Oil leakage from a car's chassis is caused by the aging or damage of engine seals. Over time and with continuous thermal cycling, the seals gradually harden and lose their elasticity, and in severe cases, they may even break, leading to oil leakage. Engine oil seepage is not necessarily a malfunction. If oil seepage occurs, it should be carefully observed but there's no need to be overly sensitive—just keep an eye on it through regular checks. The chassis refers to the combination of the transmission system, running gear, steering system, and braking system in a car. It supports and installs the car's engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall structure of the vehicle. It bears the engine's power and ensures normal operation.
