Where Does a Car Leak Oil?

[McErin]

Common locations for car oil leaks are: 1. Shock absorber leaks; 2. Brake master cylinder, wheel cylinder, or ABS pump leaks; 3. Clutch master or slave cylinder leaks; 4. Half-shaft oil seal leaks; 5. Rear differential oil seal leaks; 6. Transmission oil pan leaks. Causes of car oil leaks include: 1. Uneven tightening force of fastening nuts, stripped threads, or loose/disconnected parts leading to operational failure; 2. Poor product quality, inferior materials or workmanship, or structural design flaws; 3. Excessive lubrication oil, overfilled oil levels, or incorrect oil type used; 4. Improper installation not following operational procedures; 5. Blocked vent plugs or check valves causing oil leaks at weak sealing points.
