  1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system
  1. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.
  1. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
  1. If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the Symptom Chart.

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.
*
Leak at the crankshaft seal.
*
INSTALL a new crankshaft seal.
*
Leaks from oil carrying components or basic engine.
*
CHECK for cracks in oil-carrying components of the basic engine by means of a UV leak test. INSTALL new components or seals as necessary.
Oil consumption
*
Use of the wrong type of engine oil.
*
DETERMINE the last type of engine oil used and compare with the specification. Change the engine oil to the specification.
*
Faulty positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system.
-
Hoses or ventilation or breather valves are blocked. This causes excessive pressure in the crankcase which causes more oil to enter the combustion chamber.
-
PCV oil separator is faulty and engine oil can enter the combustion chamber through the intake manifold.
*
CHECK if the PCV system is operating correctly and repair as necessary. Engine - 1.4L Duratec-16V (Sigma)/1.6L Duratec-16V (Sigma) -

Engine - Oil Leaks

NOTE:
NOTE:Before installing new gaskets or oil 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.
