Symptom Chart

Symptom Possible Sources Action
Loss of oil
*
Oil leaks on components that are either coated in oil themselves or on components local to them.
*
CHECK for evidence of oil leaks on components. Use an ultraviolet (UV) leak tester if an oil leak is not evident. INSTALL new gaskets or components as required.
*
Internal or external leak at the oil cooler.
*
CHECK the coolant expansion tank for a film of oil on the coolant surface. INSTALL a new oil cooler or oil cooler gasket.
*

Engine - Oil Leaks

NOTE:
NOTE:Before installing new gaskets or seals, make sure that the fault is clearly established.

If the oil leak cannot be identified clearly by a visual inspection, carry out an ultraviolet (UV) test:

Ultraviolet (UV) Testing

  1. Clean the engine and transmission with a suitable cleaning fluid.
  1. Pour the UV-test fluid in accordance with the quantity specified by the manufacturer through the oil filler neck into the engine and install the oil filler cap.
WARNING:
WARNING:Vehicles with manual transaxle, shift the transaxle into Neutral. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
  1. Start the engine and let it run for about five minutes.
  1. Switch off the engine.
NOTE:
NOTE:If no leak can be found, road test the vehicle under various loads and check the engine for leaks again.
  1. Check the engine for oil leaks using a suitable UV lamp.
  1. Rectify any leaks found and check the engine for oil leaks.

Measure the compression pressure

NOTE:
NOTE:The powertrain control module (PCM) receives an error message when the fuel pump relay is removed or electrical components are disconnected. This error message must be deleted from the fault memory using WDS after completing the compression test.
NOTE:
NOTE:Valve clearance must be set correctly before performing a compression test. Make sure the engine is at the normal operating temperature.
