What Causes Oil Spray from the Rear Axle Vent Hole?
1 Answers
Oil spray from the rear axle vent hole occurs when the vent valve's orifice becomes blocked, leading to excessive pressure in the rear axle. This forces gear oil to seep out from the edges of the vent valve. Additional Information: 1. Definition of a Blow-off Valve: A blow-off valve is a component in a turbocharged engine system that diverts exhaust gases away from the turbine. This diversion reduces the turbine speed, consequently lowering the compressor speed as well. 2. Function of the Blow-off Valve: The primary role of the blow-off valve is to stabilize the boost pressure in the turbocharging system to protect both the engine and the turbocharger. The blow-off valve is controlled by its actuator, which in turn is regulated by the pressure in the intake manifold.
