Car oil leak - a common mistake Vietnamese drivers overlook.

After a period of use, the valve cover gasket deteriorates, causing oil leaks that can damage the engine.

The valve cover gasket is the common name used by technicians for the cylinder head gasket or spark plug gasket. Valve cover oil leaks occur in car models with a cylinder head (engine cover) such as the Hyundai Getz, Kia Morning, Kia Forte, Cerato, and Toyota Vios...

Checking for oil leaks in the valve cover gasket can be done visually.

After an average of 100,000 km of use, the engine compartment heats up, and the rubber gaskets harden and shrink over time, losing their sealing ability and causing engine oil to leak out.

If the user doesn't pay attention, after a while, oil will leak out, the amount depending on the gap in the gasket. Excessive oil loss will affect the engine's performance, insufficient lubrication, and wear and tear on parts, eventually leading to breakdowns and much more serious damage.

Checking for oil leaks in the valve cover gasket can be done visually. The repair is quite simple; it only requires replacing the gasket, taking about two hours and costing over one million VND.

Taking care of your vehicle can help avoid financial losses and save on repair and replacement costs. Be a responsible driver and drive safely at all times and in all places.
