🔍 Key Concepts

• Lubricating oil system contamination effects on bearings and engine parts • Importance of removing the source of contamination before restarting or continuing operation • Consequences of continuing to circulate contaminated lube oil through an operating engine

💭 Think About

• Think about what saltwater does to metal surfaces inside an engine when mixed with lube oil, especially under load and temperature. • Which action both stops further damage immediately and returns the system to a safe, reliable condition? • Which options allow contaminated oil to remain in the system, and what risks does that create for bearings and journals?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice both stops the leak and gets all contaminated oil out of the system. • Eliminate any options that involve running the engine with known contaminated oil. • Eliminate any option that delays corrective action or only deals with part of the problem (leak only or oil only).
