To promote a secure seal in many different areas of your vehicle, a gasket may be used. Gaskets are created with specific purposes in mind, and you'll find that they are made from a number of different products. Plastic, rubber, metal, and silicone are just a few of the materials that manufacturers use to make gaskets.
Gaskets exist within your engine, in a water pump, to create an airtight seal in your tires and much more. If you were to experience a problem with one of your gaskets, you may notice a strong burning smell while your engine is running. You could also notice fluid pooling under your vehicle when it's parked. It's a good idea to have these issues looked at by the service team at Preston's Kia in Montpelier, VT. Regular use of your vehicle can lead to this type of wear and tear.
