What Causes Oil Leaks Under the Car After Parking for a While?
1 Answers
The reasons for oil leaks under the car after parking for a while are: 1. The oil filter is not installed properly; 2. The oil pan drain plug is loose; 3. Damage to the front or rear crankshaft oil seals can also cause leaks; 4. Aging or deformation of rubber sealing rings. If you notice oil on the ground with a large area, appearing directly as liquid, it may be caused by the above issues. In this case, you should check the remaining oil level and then visit a repair shop for inspection. The harm caused by oil leaks ranges from wasting oil to damaging the engine internals, and in more severe cases, fuel self-ignition due to high temperatures. Oil leakage is a serious issue, and it should never be ignored when it occurs.
