Engine overheating can be caused by several factors, including a malfunctioning thermostat, a failing water pump, or a leak in the cooling system, which prevents the engine from maintaining an optimal temperature. Oil blowing in the engine compartment may result from excessive pressure buildup, often due to clogged PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) systems or excessive oil levels. Additionally, a blown gasket or seal can lead to oil leaks, exacerbating overheating issues. Regular maintenance and monitoring can help prevent these problems.
