Oil Leak Repairs

Oil Leak Repair Services at Marlow Motor-Werks

Oil leaks are a common issue when it comes to vehicle maintenance. However, ignoring an oil leak can lead to engine damage and unnecessary repairs down the line. At Marlow Motor-Werks, we specialize in oil leak repairs to keep your vehicle running in good condition.

Signs of an Oil Leak

Spotting an oil leak early can save you from future headaches and expenses. Here are the main signs to watch out for:

  • Oil Stains on the Ground: Fresh oil spots or stains under your car after parking can indicate a leak.
  • Low Oil Level: Finding a low oil level on the dipstick can suggest a leak.
  • Engine Overheating: Oil leaks can lead to low oil levels, causing the engine to overheat due to reduced lubrication.
  • Burning Oil Smell: A strong, burning oil smell inside the vehicle can point to oil leaking onto the engine.
  • Smoke from the Engine: If you notice smoke from under the hood, it may be oil leaking and burning off.
  • Visible Oil on Engine: Sometimes, a quick inspection can reveal oil on the engine.
  • Dashboard Warning Lights: The oil pressure or check engine light may come on if the oil level or pressure drops significantly due to a leak.

Addressing Oil Leaks

Oil lubricates parts of the engine, reducing friction and preventing wear. When oil leaks, the engine becomes deprived of said lubrication, sometimes leading to overheating and increased wear. Over time, this can result in damage and possible engine failure. Repairing an oil leak early not only saves you from repairs but can also extend the lifespan of your engine, making sure that your vehicle remains reliable.
