Anything else that the oil goes to.
Yes, water leak system alarms will sound at the first indication of high water flow in sump pumps, basements, or where ever else water leaks can cause high damage.
Yes. If the sump pump is used as a sewage lift station, objects going into the toilet (especially forign objects) can cause the pump to clogg. These pumps are usually referred to as sewage ejector pumps. If the sump pump is only used for stormwater runoff, and foundation drains, then no, the toilet is a separate system and would not affect it. These are referred to as sump pumps. Except in unusual circumstances, such as when a toilet overflows, and drains into the basement floor drains for instance, these are totally separate.
A broken sump, possibly due to a broken Con-Rod.
check oil level, as excessive oil may cause leaks round sump seal due to the pressure in the system. i overfilled mine a week ago and its now really oily round there when it wasnt before
if your oil sump is clogged i would clean it immediately by using propper flushing liquid cos i wouldn't worry about it leaking as it will most probably restrict oil to the engine causing it to seize.
For best drainage results, the sump pump should be placed below the rest of the floor. It should be set up to drain outside the house. The hose should be far enough away from the window that it does not leak back inside.
Depends were the oil is coming from? Gasket seal blown? burst pipe? cracked oil sump etc......
depending on where the oil is leaking from. sump gasket? rocker cover gasket? hoses? castings?
Oil leaks from just about anywhere that there is an oil gasket. For example, the rocker cover, the sump and numerous other places. Take the care to a service centre to have it check (especially before you park your car in a friends driveway).
A dry sump is not submerged under water as a wet sump is. a dry sump uses a resivoir to hold the oil much like the brake fluid. a wet sump has the oil sump bolted to the bottom of the engine block :D
If your sump pump is not working, it may be unable to pump out water that is collecting in your basement, leading to flooding. Sump pumps are designed to remove excess water from the area around your home's foundation, so if it is not functioning properly, water can accumulate and cause flooding in your basement.
Common signs of a leak in a basement ceiling include water stains, dampness, mold growth, and dripping water. To effectively repair a leak in a basement ceiling, identify the source of the leak, fix any plumbing issues, seal cracks or gaps, waterproof the area, and consider installing a sump pump or drainage system if necessary.
