Why does engine oil leak from the exhaust pipe?
1 Answers
Engine oil leaks from the exhaust pipe due to the following reasons: 1. The crankcase ventilation valve is damaged, losing its sealing function and causing oil leakage. 2. Excessive exhaust gas. The piston rings lose their sealing function, allowing high-pressure gas from the cylinders to leak into the crankcase ventilation system, increasing pressure and forcing oil out through the exhaust pipe. 3. Overfilling of engine oil, which restricts air circulation in the crankcase ventilation system, forcing oil to be expelled through the exhaust pipe. Additional information about engine oil: 1. Engine oil serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption in the engine. 2. Engine oil consists of base oil and additives.
