What are the common causes of turbine oil leakage and how can they be addressed?

Common causes of turbine oil leakage include:

Worn Seals and Gaskets: Over time, seals and gaskets can degrade, leading to leaks.
Improper Installation: Incorrect installation of components can result in gaps or misalignments.
Pressure Imbalances: Excessive pressure within the system can force oil past seals.
Contaminated Oil: Particles in the oil can cause abrasion of seals.
Thermal Expansion: Temperature fluctuations can cause components to expand and contract, affecting seal integrity.
Addressing leakage:

Regular Inspection: Monitor seals, gaskets, and fittings for wear or damage.
Proper Maintenance: Replace worn components promptly and ensure correct installation.
Pressure Management: Maintain system pressures within design specifications.
Oil Cleanliness: Keep oil clean to prevent abrasive wear on seals.
Temperature Control: Manage operating temperatures to minimize thermal stress.
Preventing leaks reduces oil loss, environmental impact, and potential safety hazards.
