If you see oil stains on your garage floor or in your driveway, your car could have an oil leak. Oil leak can happen because as cars get older, the gaskets and seals begin to break down and the internal oil pressure can push oil through the cracks or gaps in these seals. Common areas for oil leak can include the Valve Cover Gasket(s), Oil Pan Gasket, or even the Oil Pan Drain Plug. If ignored, a small leak could quickly become a large problem and damage the engine due to low oil pressure. If you think your car may have an oil leak, bring your car in and let one of our certified technicians diagnose the source and provide you with the best option fo repairing your oil leak today.
Low oil pressure or low oil level can be a serious problem for your car. Your engine needs to have the right amount of oil in order to stay properly lubricated or you risk permanent engine damage from increased friction. Low oil pressure can be caused by the oil level being too low or by a malfunction with the oil pump or engine itself. If your dashboard oil pressure warning lamp has come on after starting the car and stays on or if the light comes on while the engine is running (even if it goes off quickly), this means that your car needs immediate attention.
