What should I do if the Citroen C-Quatre engine is leaking oil?

If the Citroen C-Quatre engine is leaking oil, the first step is to locate the leakage point. You can replace the sealing ring and then observe the situation. If the oil leakage is still severe, it is recommended to promptly visit a 4S store for maintenance and inspection. Most engine oil leaks are caused by aging or damaged seals. Seals can harden, lose elasticity, and in severe cases, may even break, leading to oil leakage. Here are some relevant details: 1. Minor oil leaks in the Citroen C-Quatre engine mostly occur in quasi-new vehicles with less than 100,000 kilometers on the odometer. These leaks can be difficult to detect without close observation, primarily manifesting as a dirty engine with very small amounts of oil seeping out and mixing with dust to form sludge that adheres to the engine surface. The sludge is often found near the oil pan, oil filler port, and exhaust valve. 2. Obvious oil leakage from the engine may significantly increase oil consumption. The consequence of oil loss is severe engine wear. In such cases, it is not difficult to quickly locate the leakage point. The oil leakage phenomenon is mostly related to aging seals and sealing rings, such as the common front and rear crankshaft oil seals, oil pan sealing rings, and valve cover sealing rings.
