Repairing the Leaks
You know your vehicle needs oil, but it’s crucial to understand its importance. Automobiles whose owners maintain a sufficient supply of clean, fresh lubricant will last much longer than those that consistently run on less dirty oil. That’s why so many local motorists count on us for routine oil and filter changes. This, however, is not enough if your automobile has an oil leak. When that condition exists, you’re losing your valuable motor oil daily. Even a small leak can soon drop the level and promote corrosive dirtiness in other places where it drips, so it’s important to have Essential Auto Care address it as soon as you notice the problem. When the oil is changed, so is the filter to ensure that foreign particles are trapped instead of continuing to circulate. If the oil filter isn’t seated properly and tightened enough, it’s likely to leak, making this one of the common spots for a drip. Your car is also equipped with multiple gaskets to prevent leaks. These include the oil pan, cylinder head, valve cover, and timing cover gaskets. If one of these is damaged, it can allow oil to seep past. The engine also uses seals to retain oil in the proper places, which can also fail. These include the seals located at the crankshaft and camshaft. The oil pan is a reservoir for the lubricant. Its location underneath your car makes it vulnerable in certain situations. Damage frequently results in a leak. It also includes a drain plug to facilitate oil changes. If it isn’t secure, the result is obvious.
