Can oil leaks be a reason for high oil consumption in a Honda City?

Oil consumption isn’t always due to burning oil inside the engine—sometimes, it’s due to leaks. How can owners inspect their car for leaks, and which areas oil pan, valve cover gasket, etc. are most prone to leakage in the Honda City?

Yes, oil leaks can also contribute to high oil consumption in a Honda City. Leaks occur when seals, gaskets, o r engine components such as the oil pan o r valve cover gasket deteriorate. The oil escapes from the engine, causing the oil level to and requiring frequent top-ups. To identify oil leaks, owners should regularly check underneath the car for any signs of oil stains o r puddles. It’s also important to inspect engine components for wear and tear, and to replace any damaged seals o r gaskets promptly to prevent further oil loss.
