Automotive Oil Leaks:
What You Need To Know
Your car is a complex and intricately designed machine made up of many components working simultaneously to keep it running smoothly. The one component that—quite literally—keeps your car running is the engine, and all engines rely heavily on motor oil. Motor oil is what lubricates the engine and ensures it is functioning properly. It reduces friction, helps dissipate heat, and allows your engine to operate efficiently. So when you notice oil spots on your garage floor, there’s a reason for concern.
An oil leak can lead to engine damage, costly repairs, and even safety hazards, so it’s best to address it as soon as possible. At Professional Automotive, we understand this better than anyone, and with our years of experience and certified technicians, we are more than qualified to repair any oil leaks that might happen.

Oil Leaks And Why They Happen
An oil leak might seem harmless, but it can cause major engine problems down the road. Leaks can happen around a broken oil filter, near bad gaskets or worn seals, from a damaged oil pan, or because of a loose drain plug. These are just a few common causes, but even things like changes in environmental conditions and sudden movements can also lead to leaks.
Bottom line, the best way to avoid an oil leak is to stop it before it happens, and the only sure way to do that is through routinely scheduled maintenance. Making sure to stay on top of oil and filter changes is also helpful, as is extra caution when driving over road debris or uneven surfaces.
