Some Kia Cadenza owners report experiencing engine failure after an oil leak repair, with a faulty oil sensor being a potential cause. Common reasons for oil leaks in these vehicles include oil system component failure and leaking engine gaskets, while worn or damaged oil seals can also lead to significant leakage. Additionally, issues such as oil burning may arise from faulty engine components, improper maintenance, or design flaws, with worn piston rings frequently cited as a contributing factor. Owners have noted that engine performance problems, like rough running or unusual noises, can occur due to insufficient lubrication from oil leaks, highlighting the need for prompt attention to these indicators to prevent further damage. In cases of engine failure post-repair, it is recommended that the dealership conduct a thorough inspection of the oil sensor to ensure its proper function and address any issues that may have developed during the repair process.
