What to Do If the Car Chassis is Scraped and Leaking Engine Oil?
1 Answers
Drive the car to a nearby repair shop, lift the vehicle, and carefully inspect the chassis. If the pipes are not damaged and only the steel plate has minor scratches, applying anti-rust paint will suffice. If the pipes are damaged, a thorough inspection and repair are necessary. If the chassis is found to be scraped, it is recommended not to continue driving. Instead, take the car to a nearby repair shop for a comprehensive inspection to prevent oil or gas leaks that could lead to vehicle fires, which are difficult to extinguish and may even endanger lives. Here is additional information: 1. The parts of the car chassis most prone to damage are various pipes, such as brake hydraulic pipes and fuel pipes. However, these pipes are usually hidden and protected in the grooves of the chassis steel plate, making them difficult to scrape. 2. If the chassis hits a step, the steel plate of the chassis contacts the step in a flat state. Therefore, the pipes hidden in the grooves of the steel plate will not be damaged, so there is no need to worry excessively about the fuel pipes being scraped. 3. If the impact is caused by a protruding part of the ground, it is a point-like impact with significant force. Protruding stones may hit the pipes in the grooves, causing oil or fluid leaks. In this case, extra attention is required to identify the cause of the impact and the location of the leak.
