Chinese term or phrase: "串油"
Hi,

I am translating a patent on hydraulic cylinders in an automotive context. The text is on several cylinders that are connected in a way that "无串油、泄漏风险". And I am totally not sure what to make of "串油" as the only results I get during internet searches refer to either food or essential oils.
I am translating into German. But of course, an English translation would be very helpful.

Any suggestions?
TIA

oil loss / oil burning


Explanation:
“串” 这个字有到处走的意思。我认为这里 “串油” 可能是指润滑油 (engine oil) 走到燃烧室 (combustion chamber) 被烧掉的意思。这种情形在美国叫 burning oil 或 oil burning 或 an engine that burns oil. 车主隔一段时间就要加一点润滑油。也可能是润滑油走到冷却液 (coolant) 循环系统和冷却液混在一起。

无串油、泄漏风险: There is no risk of oil loss or leakage.
