Question
What causes automotive engine camshaft phaser "oil leaks"?
Answer
Seal failure and oil pressure loss.
Explain
Leaking phasers reduce VVT functionality. CHEPQ tools test oil pressure (40-80 psi) and inspect phaser seals—replacing seals or the phaser prevents oil loss and restores VVT operation.
