Camshaft seal leaks are one of the most overlooked yet critical oil leak issues in vehicles. If left untreated, they can result in oil loss, engine misfires, and contamination of timing belts, eventually leading to expensive engine damage. At Car Garage Dubai, we provide reliable and affordable car camshaft seal leak repair services using advanced techniques and premium materials to ensure your engine stays leak-free and protected.
The camshaft seal keeps oil inside the engine where the camshaft rotates. It is located at the front or rear end of the camshaft and endures significant heat and pressure. Over time, these seals can fail due to:
Age and normal wear
Heat exposure causing hardening or cracking
Poor oil quality or contamination
Improper installation or engine maintenance
Once the seal deteriorates, oil starts leaking out, which can cause issues with timing components and reduce engine lubrication.
Detecting a camshaft seal leak early can save you from larger repair bills later. Here are the warning signs:
Oil visible near the timing belt or cover
Engine oil level dropping faster than normal
Burning oil smell when the engine is running
Oil contamination on timing belts or chains
Check engine light or engine misfires
