2012 Toyota Venza - Gaskets

Gaskets

Gaskets keep the fluids and gases traveling through the systems of your vehicle from leaking or mixing with each other. When most gaskets develop leaks, you may notice a few drops or a small puddle under your vehicle after it has been parked for some time. Leaks should be addressed even if they are small, because any leak can rapidly worsen and could cause engine damage if not maintained.

Different Types of Gaskets for Your Vehicle

Systems such as the transmission or power steering may stop working without adequate fluid pressures, and this may not only cause damage to the components of the system, but may also make driving difficult or impossible. If the coolant level in your vehicle is too low due to a leak, your engine may overheat and suffer head gasket or block damage. Engine gaskets keep oil and coolant from mixing together inside of the engine while preventing external leaks, but gasket failure may not be noticeable until the oil or coolant level is checked. Exhaust gaskets ensure exhaust gases are directed safely out and away from the vehicle, and leaking exhaust could enter the cabin and cause harm to you or your passengers. Climate control gaskets and O-Rings seal the A/C and heater systems and prevent coolant and refrigerant leaks to keep the cabin of your vehicle comfortable when driving. All of these gaskets and seals need to be maintained to keep every system in your vehicle working and to keep you on the road safely and comfortably.
