Inspection is the top-line priority needed
to squelch ingression points through tight and
well-managed ingression control. All seven of
the listed water ingression sources have the
potential to be detected by inspection.
Deferred maintenance of worn seals, defec-
tive breathers and coolant leaks creates more
expensive maintenance events in the future,
including the possible cost of premature oil
changes, flushing, oil dehydration and replace-
ment of water-damaged parts. Frequently
inspecting and promptly closing off ingression
sites are by far the wiser choice and use of main-
tenance resources.
