  1. Engine Oil Leaks: Causes & How To Fix Them DAMAGED FILTER Oil filter’s primary function is to remove contaminants from the oil as it circulates through the engine Over time, the filter becomes clogged leading to increased pressure within the engine & cause the filter to fail. FAILING FILLER CAP If the cap is damaged, worn, or not tightened correctly, it can allow oil to escape and lead to a significant loss of oil over time. Inspect the cap for any signs of wear or damage and replace it if necessary to prevent further oil loss. EXCESS ENGINE OIL Too much oil in the engine causes the oil to foam leading to increase pressure & force oil out of the seals & gaskets If you suspect that you have overfilled engine with oil, drain the excess oil & refill it with the correct amount. DAMAGED OIL PAN The oil pan is located at the bottom of the engine and is responsible for holding the engine oil. The pan can become damaged due to impacts from rocks, debris, or other objects on the road. HOW TO STOP ENGINE OIL LEAKS The appropriate fix for an oil leak depends on its underlying cause, whether it’s a damaged oil filter, faulty seal, or other issues. In some cases, replacing the damaged component may be necessary to stop the oil leak. Regular maintenance & inspections can also help prevent oil leaks from occurring in the first place.
