How Do You Fix Engine Oil Leaks?

0

Engine leaks are bad for your car, bad for your wallet and bad for the environment. The steps to take to stop them are easy. The most common reason for engine oil leaks happens in older cars when the engine seals break down. When this happens it creates a gap that allows the oil to seep out. Taking care of this issue is as easy as a trip to your local department store or to your nearest auto part store. Any of the stop leak products should help your leaky situation. Make sure to follow the instructions closely on the back label of the stop leak product you choose. Most of them are as simple as pouring them into the engine oil compartment and letting the car run for awhile. The second most common oil leaking problem comes from forgetting to replace the oil drain plug after a DIY oil change or not making it tight enough. If you’re not sure about the amount of pressure to use check your vehicle owners manual. If you had the oil change done at an auto boutique then just take your car back
