Engine Oil Leak Repair in Sterling, VA

Engine Oil Leak Repair and Diagnosis in Sterling, VA

Is your vehicle leaving spots of oil where you park? Smelling burning oil while driving? At RevTech Performance, we specialize in oil leak repair and diagnostics for performance and daily-driven vehicles alike. Whether you drive a BMW, Audi, Porsche, or another make, an oil leak is something you don’t want to ignore.

Why You Shouldn’t Ignore an Oil Leak

Engine oil lubricates, cools, and protects your engine’s moving parts. When oil begins leaking, even slowly, it can lead to:

• Low oil levels, causing internal engine damage
• Premature wear of seals and gaskets
• Foul smells and smoke from oil burning on hot surfaces
• Potential clutch damage in manual transmission vehicles (from rear main seal leaks)
• Fire hazard  in severe cases

Early oil leak detection and repair not only protects your vehicle but can prevent much costlier repairs down the road.

Common Types of Engine Oil Leaks We Fix

At RevTech Performance, we offer accurate diagnosis and expert repairs for all types of oil leaks:

Valve Cover Gasket Leaks

A worn or brittle gasket around the valve cover can allow oil to seep down your engine. This is a common issue in high-mileage vehicles and performance engines.

Oil Pan Gasket Leaks

Located on the bottom of the engine, the oil pan is sealed with a gasket that can fail over time or with impact. A damaged oil pan or gasket is a frequent culprit of large oil puddles under your car.

Rear Main Seal Leaks

Found between the engine and transmission, the rear main seal is critical and often overlooked. Leaks here can lead to oil contaminating the clutch or flywheel in manual cars, causing serious drivability issues.

Camshaft and Crankshaft Seal Leaks

These seals help keep oil within your engine’s rotating components. When they begin to leak, it’s often visible near the front of the engine or timing cover.

Turbocharger Oil Leaks

If your vehicle is turbocharged, oil lines to and from the turbo can leak under pressure. This can lead to smoke from the exhaust and loss of performance.

We Specialize in European Oil Leak Diagnosis

Our technicians are highly experienced in working with European makes and performance vehicles, where oil leaks are a common issue—especially as vehicles age or undergo modifications. We regularly diagnose and repair leaks on:

• BMW engines, including common leaks on the N54, N55, and B58 platforms
• Mercedes-Benz models with known issues like cam adjuster solenoid seals and oil cooler gaskets
• Volkswagen vehicles, particularly with leaking valve cover gaskets and PCV-related issues
• Audi engines, including TFSI oil leaks near the timing cover or rear main
• Porsche models, with attention to RMS (rear main seal) failures and cam tower leaks

We’ll be sharing detailed articles soon on each of these issues, so check back to learn more about BMW oil leaks, Mercedes oil leaks, Volkswagen oil leaks, Audi oil leaks, and Porsche oil leaks — and how our team at RevTech Performance fixes them the right way.

Our Oil Leak Repair Process

We don’t just clean the oil and send you on your way — we diagnose the root cause using a combination of:
