peer agreement (net): +1Seep / Seeping Explanation: "First, you need to determine what kind of "leak" your car has. There are two types of oil spills, a seep and a leak. A seep is just that, a slow seepage of oil that does not produce a drip, is sometimes not noticeable on the pavement as a "spill," and generally does not seep enough oil to adversely affect the oil level between oil changes. You may sometimes notice smoke or a burning odor caused by oil seeping on a hot engine or from coming into contact with hot exhaust parts. Seeps do not necessarily have to be repaired immediately. A leak is just that, a leak that causes a drip of oil when the vehicle is parked. A leak will produce a puddle of oil on the pavement, and continues to drip while the vehicle is driven. A leak can adversely affect oil levels, and if not checked, can drain enough oil to do internal engine damage. A leak will usually be accompanied by smoke and a burning odor. Leaks should be corrected immediately. " http://www.trustmymechanic.com/valve_cover_leak.htm Perhaps this is what is meant? Seeping is a bit like "sweating", characteristic-wise. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 mins (2012-01-20 15:59:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The descriptions also match, especially: a seep..."does not produce a drip...not noticeable on the pavement as a spill"....seems to match your description quite well. |
