- Faulty Oil Filter: A worn-out or incorrectly installed oil filter can cause a leak.
- Damaged Oil Pan Gasket: The oil pan gasket creates a seal between the oil pan and the engine block. If the gasket is damaged or worn, oil can leak from this area.
- Cracked or Damaged Oil Pan: An impact or other external force can cause damage or cracking to the oil pan itself, resulting in an oil leak.
- Excessive Engine Pressure: In rare cases, excessive engine pressure can cause the oil pan gasket or seals to fail, leading to a leak.
- Oil Pan Drain Plug Seal: Ensure the oil drain plug and its seal are properly seated and not damaged, as this area is prone to leaks if not sealed correctly.
For accurate diagnosis and repair, it is recommended to have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic who specializes in Jaguar vehicles. They can pinpoint the exact cause of the leak and perform necessary repairs.
