1) If it is a small leak, you may be able to get by for a while without having to fix it. However, it is important to keep an eye on the oil level and make sure that it does not get too low.
2) If the leak is more severe, it could cause the engine to run low on oil, which could lead to serious damage.
In either case, it is best to have the leak fixed as soon as possible.
Signs of a Serious Leak:
- Oil spots or puddles under your vehicle
- Low oil level on the dipstick
- Oil burning smell
- Engine knocking or ticking sounds
- Decreased fuel efficiency
- Check engine light on
