Oil leakage is a common problem, especially in older engines. You have probably seen an oil slick or oil drops under the car. A heavily loaded older engine may use a little oil, but extreme oil leakage with stains on the ground is not a good sign. In this blog we will discuss the topic of repairing engine oil leaks in more detail.
Engine oil leakage
Engines are always equipped with gaskets. These gaskets are for sealing the parts and therefore ensure that everything fits together properly. When a gasket becomes older, dried out, worn or broken, oil leakage will occur. Due to oil leakage, the oil in the oil system becomes less and less, resulting in less lubrication, which can cause metal-to-metal contact.
The following defects can cause oil leakage:
- Head gasket leak
- Valve cover gasket
- Sump pan gasket
- Crankshaft seal
- Camshaft seal
- Pipes
- Turbo
Fix oil leakage
It is often difficult to determine where exactly the oil leakage in the engine comes from. By cleaning the underside of the car and then driving a short distance, you can often clearly see where the oil leakage is coming from. As described earlier in this blog, oil consumption is more common in older engines.
Oil leak stopper of the highest quality
Oil leakage is quite easy to solve by Lindemann Oil Stop Leak to be added to the oil system. This additive stops and reduces oil leakage from engine, gearbox and differential. The large Teflon molecules close the space created by wear between the piston rings and the cylinder wall. In addition, the gaskets are made more flexible, resulting in a better seal and oil leakage can be prevented.
The unique thing about the Lindemann Oil Stop Leak is that it has a... additional resource contains rubber oil seals, o-rings and also plastic parts that have "hardened" back to their original flexibility so that they regain their original function. Unlike “Stop Leak” products from competing brands, the Lindemann Oil contains Stop Leak no plasticizers! This ensures that this oil additive offers a sustainable solution! In short, a top product.

Transmission oil leak
In addition to oil leakage in the engine, it can also happen that: leakage has occurred in the transmission and steering pumps and steering racks. The same Lindemann Oil Stop Leak can be used for the manual transmission and the differential, but for the automatic transmission there is the Lindemann Automatic Transmission Treatment. For leaks from steering pumps and steering racks we recommend the Lindemann Power Steering Treatment.

Driving too long with oil leakage
Driving for too long with oil leakage can cause major problems in the short term. There is a risk of a "seize", this is because there is not enough oil inside the engine to lubricate the rotating parts. It is also possible that the timing belt becomes greasy due to oil leakage. This affects the rubber of the timing belt and causes it to wear out sooner, resulting in even higher costs. You want to avoid this at all times.
Furthermore, oil leakage is bad for the environment. The leaking oil can pollute the groundwater, which in turn is harmful to nature. You can choose to continuously add new oil or try this additive. The Lindemann Oil Stop Leak is the best solution for solving oil leaks!
