A patent for an oil seal was filed by Nelson Thomas Edward on August 12, 1937, and published a year later. There were two purposes described. The device was to provide an oil seal between a fixed housing and a rotating part. The seal is described as
Wear and oil loss remains two of the most frequent signs of engine seal failure and, if not paid attention to, it can give rise to a breakdown in the vehicle’s system. Regular maintenance and routine oil changes minimize the issues associated with oil seals and potential oil loss.
