What Causes Oil Leakage from the Cylinder Head of a Ninth-Generation Accord Engine?
1 Answers
Oil leakage from the cylinder head of a ninth-generation Accord engine occurs because the rubber sealing rings inside the transmission deteriorate over time due to alternating hot and cold temperatures. This causes the sealing rings to lose a significant amount of plasticizers and softeners, leading to corrosion, aging, and hardening. Initially, the issue starts as a minor seepage but gradually progresses to dripping oil. Over time, the sealing rings may even break. Below are additional details: 1. Transmission oil leakage in a car might be due to a cracked oil seal gasket, allowing gear oil to seep out. To assess the severity of the leak, first clean off the oil stains. 2. Regularly monitor the extent of the oil leakage. If the leakage is rapid, consider topping up the oil or replacing the oil seal gasket. Insufficient gear oil can impair gear lubrication and, in severe cases, lead to bearing failure.
