Oil leaks are something that should never be ignored by vehicle owners. In the case of leaks, here are some things you should NOT do. 

First of all, never ignore the flashing oil light. That means there’s something wrong with the car. If it is not addressed immediately, it can cause major issues that can ultimately ruin your car. 

YouTube tutorials are not always reliable. While YouTube is a cornucopia of DIY videos and other life hacks, it is best to bring your car to a professional auto mechanic in case of oil leaks and other car issues. 

More importantly, it’s a reckless decision to drive a vehicle without understanding its needs or spending some money on its maintenance. In other words, be a responsible vehicle owner. No one will take care of your car but you. 

These are just some tips on how to deal with an oil leak and dealing with other car issues. These should not be ignored, or you'll face its consequences in the end.
