Weepage is indicated by which observable sign?

• A. Visible sheen
• B. No leakage
• C. Heavy vapor
• D. Oil odor

Answer: (A)

Weepage is the slow escape of lubricant through seals, which you detect by a visible sheen on surfaces. That thin film or film-like shine on components or floors is the clearest, most reliable observable sign that lubrication is seeping out. While an oil odor or other signs might occur in some cases, they are not as dependable or direct as seeing the oil film. Saying there is no leakage would contradict the idea of weepage, since it implies part of the lubricant is escaping. The presence of a visible sheen directly indicates that seepage is happening.
