What Causes Oil Leakage in the New Elantra Engine?
1 Answers
Oil leakage from the oil filler cap may be related to factors such as poor sealing of the cap, high oil level, or excessive pressure in the crankcase. Below are the specific causes of oil leakage: 1. Aging Parts: The rubber oil seal may age over time. It is normal for various car parts to show signs of aging after a certain mileage or years of use. If the rubber oil seal becomes worn or aged, its sealing effectiveness diminishes, leading to oil leakage. In such cases, simply replacing the seal with a new one will resolve the issue. 2. Overfilled Transmission Fluid: If the transmission is overfilled with oil, causing it to operate under excessive load, the oil seal may become loose or dislodged, resulting in oil leakage. To address this, adjust the transmission fluid to the appropriate level and inspect the oil seal for any damage.
