Possible Sources
Symptom
• CHECK for evidence of oilleaks on components. Use an
ultraviolet (UV) leak tester if an
oil leak is not evident. INSTALL
new gaskets or components as
required.
• Oil leaks on components that
are either coated in oil them-
selves or on components local
to them.
• Loss of oil
• CHECK the coolant expansiontank for a film of oil on the
coolant surface. INSTALL a
new oil cooler or oil cooler
gasket.
• Internal or external leak at the
oil cooler.
• INSTALL a new crankshaftseal.
• Leak at the crankshaft seal.
• CHECK for cracks in oil-carrying components of the
basic engine by means of a UV
leak test. INSTALL new
components or seals as
necessary.
• Leaks from oil carrying
components or basic engine.
• DETERMINE the last type ofengine oil used and compare
with the specification. Change
the engine oil to the specifica-
tion.
• Use of the wrong type of engine
oil.
• Oil consumption
