Why Is My Car Leaking Oil? - Errecom

Lubricant plays a crucial role in keeping the various metal parts of the engine lubricated, preventing them from rubbing together. Avoiding metal-to-metal contact is necessary for the engine and its life expectancy. Therefore, it is essential to check regularly your car’s oil level and, if needed, refill it to prevent damages to your car’s components.In some cases, however, even though you have carried out meticulous and regular vehicle maintenance, some anomalies may occur.How many times have you found a stain on the garage floor and then realised that your car was leaking oil?Oil leaks are pretty common problems but still something you cannot afford to ignore. The causes can be different: incorrectly installed filter, improperly tightened oil filler cap or drain plug, etc.Usually, the first step to follow is to check these components because either they are, as mentioned before, improperly tightened, or their gaskets are overused.As a matter of fact, Gaskets are made of rubber and, over the years, their original properties may diminish, losing some of their stability and elasticity. As the gaskets wear out, their sealing power between the moving metal parts reduces and, as a result, the car starts to leak oil.

How can you seal these micro-leaks causing oil leakage from the engine then? Relying on a qualified leak stop is the only solution if you want to drive your vehicle again in total safety.

Stop Up is a leak stop specifically formulated to prevent and stop micro-leaks that can occur in internal and external gaskets of the engine. It has been designed to restore elasticity and volume to the engine sealing elastomers and to re-establish their sealing power.Stop Up works for cars, motorcycles, agricultural machines, boats, etc., and is suitable for all aspirated or supercharged petrol and diesel engines, including the latest one generation equipped with exhaust gas post-treatment devices and those fuelled with LPG and methane. Stop Up is compatible with vehicles equipped with particulate filter or catalytic converters, and with all types of mineral, semi-synthetic and synthetic lubricants.Stop Up is a safe product for your vehicle: it does not clog oil filters, create deposits in the engine, or block small oil passages. With Stop Up, leaks are repaired while the vehicle is running, within 24 hours at most.

Additionally, Errecom has designed a Stop Up line specifically to stop leakages in power steering systems, vehicle transmissions, and hydraulic circuits.These three products are formulated to restore the original conditions of hardened, deformed, and worn gaskets.They act when the vehicle is running, fixing leaks at most in two days.

Here are the details:

• Stop Up Power Steering is the leak stop specifically formulated to seal any leak that occurs in the vehicle power steering circuit.
• Stop Up Transmission is designed to seal leaks in vehicle transmissions, reducing noise and vibration.
• Stop Up Hydraulic is the leak stop specifically designed to seal any leak that occurs in the hydraulic systems of special vehicles, such as earthmoving machines, agricultural vehicles, and hydraulic pumps.
