What to Do About Crankshaft Oil Seal Leakage?
1 Answers
When encountering such a situation while driving, promptly stop to inspect, place the triangular warning sign, turn on the hazard lights to alert passing vehicles. If the crankshaft oil seal is found to be leaking engine oil severely, immediately add some engine oil to the crankcase and then quickly drive the car to the nearest repair station. Upon arrival at the repair facility, if replacement parts are available, promptly replace the crankshaft oil seal. Reasons for oil seal leakage: 1. The parallelism between the oil seal pressing surface and the rear oil seal seat installation surface does not meet technical requirements: This was not detected at the time. After the engine has been in use for a while, the lip of the rear oil seal deforms due to uneven force, causing the oil seal to fail and leak oil. This is the most common type of oil leakage. 2. Natural aging of the oil seal after prolonged engine use: Cracks develop at the lip, leading to oil leakage. This is a relatively normal aging phenomenon for crankshaft oil seals.
