What Causes Oil Pressure Sensor Leakage?
1 Answers
Here are the specific reasons for oil pressure sensor leakage: 1. Insufficient engine oil level: This leads to inadequate or no lubrication in the system, resulting in low oil pressure. 2. Dirty or viscous oil: Causes the oil pump to fail in effectively drawing in and pumping out oil, leading to low or no oil pressure. 3. Overly thin oil or high engine temperature: Thins the oil, allowing it to leak through the engine's friction gaps, causing low oil pressure. 4. Weak pressure relief valve spring: Or issues like sticking or damaged steel balls can impair the valve's function, leading to decreased engine oil pressure.
