What causes oil leakage from the cylinder head of an Audi Q5 engine?
1 Answers
Engine oil leakage is caused by poor-quality components, uneven tightening torque of nuts, etc. Reasons for automobile engine oil leakage: 1. Inferior product (component) quality, material, or craftsmanship. 2. Improper assembly, unclean mating surfaces, damaged or displaced gaskets, or failure to follow installation procedures. 3. Uneven tightening torque of nuts, stripped or broken threads, or loosening leading to operational failure. 4. Wear beyond limits, aging, deterioration, or deformation of sealing materials after prolonged use. Hazards of oil leakage: 1. Insufficient oil can easily cause bearing seizure, cylinder scoring, and in severe cases, crankshaft breakage leading to engine block damage. 2. Excessive oil affects vehicle power and may lead to oil carryover and burning oil phenomena.
