Oil Leak Signs Utah Drivers Should Watch

Small oil spots under your vehicle may look harmless, but they can become a bigger problem if the leak reaches hot engine parts, lowers the oil level, or leaves slippery residue on Utah roads and parking lots.

Common signs of an oil leak include:

Dark oil spots under the car after parking
Burning oil smell after driving
Smoke or smell near the engine area
Oil level dropping between services
Oil dripping while the engine is running
Wet oil around the valve cover, oil pan, drain plug, or oil filter
Oil marks on the driveway, garage floor, or workplace parking area

Preventing oil leaks is also a community safety issue. When oil drips onto pavement, it can mix with rain, snowmelt, dust, or road grime and create slick spots for other drivers, motorcycles, cyclists, and pedestrians.
