Guide on How to Stop Oil Leaks from Your Car

Model: Ford Mondeo / Fusion MK 1 - Years 1993-2000
Part: Checks and maintenance

The following guide shows how to stop oil leaks in your vehicle. Since this operation can be messy, it is advisable to wear gloves, a work suit, and perhaps cover the floor with a plastic sheet. If there are leaks, simply tighten the screws and bolts of the gaskets to prevent oil from flowing, but do not overtighten to avoid deforming the gasket. If leaks persist, you will need to replace the gasket, a delicate operation best performed by a trusted mechanic to avoid causing any damage.
