In general, we like mechanics and &#8220;tinkering&#8221;, but we don&#8217;t like to mess up or polluting the environment. No need to mention that industrial and automotive oils are one of the most polluting wastes that exist.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>As for the second one, the problem is that it has an interpretable reading: In the MOT inspection, &#8220;oil leaks WITHOUT dripping&#8221; are a minor fault, but &#8220;oil leaks WITH dripping&#8221; is considered a major fault (at least in Spain) and generates an NON-PASSED INSPECTION. And the discussion lies precisely in what is understood as &#8220;drip&#8221; and what is understood as &#8220;non-drip&#8221;. In reality, any leakage of a fluid implies dripping (unless the fluid solidifies or gels spontaneously, but this is not the case with oil, at least not at the &#8220;ordinary&#8221; temperatures of our climate). So it&#8217;s all a matter of &#8220;how soon&#8221; the trickle down occurs. It is therefore at the discretion of the MOT technician to determine whether we are dealing with a &#8220;drip YES&#8221; or &#8220;drip NO&#8221;.

A flat gasket, even if not commercially available, is easy to make, and in most cases is usually replaceable with reasonable effort. It is true that in some cases, such as the oil pan or sump gasket, it is usually necessary to lift the engine block because the front or rear axle (depending on the location of the engine block) prevents the sump from being removed.

In the same way that many old vehicles (I am talking about 1960 backwards) did not have fuses in the electrical installation, they don&#8217;t also have any oil ring seals. They did not exist at that time when car was manufactured.
