Oil Seals

The job of each seal is to keep oil and pressure in, while keeping dirt and debris out. Oil seals can be made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), silicone, polyacrylate, or nitrile rubber (most common). The materials the seals are made from will depend on a number of factors, including the size and operating temperature of the engine, as well as the required level of oil pressure. Due to exposure to extreme heat and pressure, your car’s oil seals will start to degrade over time. This is particularly true of seals in performance engines. The first clear sign of a worn oil seal is a leak underneath your engine but depending on the extent of the wear, you may also find leaks at the front.
