Oil leaks are a common problem in older cars. Therefore, many car owners often take this problem lightly. However, oil leaks are a sign of engine damage. If not checked promptly, it will seriously affect the vehicle's performance.

Oil leakage can come from many causes, the most common is that the rubber gasket is aging, causing it to break, crack, etc., and the oil will slowly leak out through the gaps and form a puddle under the car. Rubber gaskets are components used to connect hard parts and shafts together, preventing oil from leaking out.

In addition, loose nuts and joints in car parts over time are also a cause of oil leakage in cars.

Oil seals after a period of operation in an environment of friction between devices, causing surface wear, degeneration and cracking.

Below are some methods to fix the problem of oil leaking under the car.

Replace new rubber gasket

If the rubber gasket is determined to be the cause of the oil leak, the car owner should replace it immediately. Currently, rubber gaskets are very easy to buy at auto parts stores at cheap prices.

However, if you do not have experience, the car owner should take the car to an experienced person, maintenance and repair center to replace the new gasket without causing any additional problems.

Tighten the bolts

Each part will have different types of bolts and tightening methods according to different technical specifications, so when you notice gaps in oil leaks caused by bolts, you should tighten them or replace them if there is a major error.

Seal the oil leak

Sealant is a liquid that is mixed with engine oil to create a mixture that can plug the hole and still allow the engine to operate normally for a long time without affecting the oil passage.
