Hazards of engine oil leakage

The engine is the most critical component of the entire car, so once the engine has problems, it is more troublesome to repair. For example, if the engine leaks oil, this is one of the most common engine problems. It is very harmful to the entire engine. It will not only consume the oil and cause waste, but more seriously, due to insufficient oil, it will cause damage to the entire engine components. Let us understand it.

Engine oil leakage hazards

The engine is the heart of the car, and failure is the most troublesome. Car engine oil leakage is one of the common faults. Many car owners will be nervous when they find that the engine is leaking oil. In fact, this is just a very common fault and any car may leak oil. But what should we do when the engine leaks oil? Today we are going to talk about the problem of engine oil leakage, understand the hazards and causes of engine oil leakage, and how we should check and judge it by ourselves.

The main hazard of engine oil leakage is the loss of engine oil, which causes waste. In severe cases, it may lead to insufficient engine oil and cause engine damage. It is not caused by oil leakage, but by insufficient oil pressure after the leakage, so just pay close attention to the oil level. Since most cars have an oil level display, you can avoid the situation where the oil level drops below the normal level without realizing it, and there is also a warning light for insufficient oil pressure.

Engine oil leakage and engine oil seepage are two different concepts

Oil leakage is not easy to be detected by car owners. Generally, when car owners go to 4S shops to maintain their cars, the maintenance technicians will explain the condition of the car when giving the quote. In fact, every time the car owner goes to wash the car, he can open the front hood and simply check the condition of the engine. If there is thick sludge in any part of the engine, it means that there is oil leakage in that place. The specific repair depends on the situation of the oil leakage.

The phenomenon of engine oil leakage is very obvious. If you get up one morning and drive your car and find a pool of black liquid under the car with a very pungent smell, you can judge that it is an engine oil leak (other systems may also be possible).
