Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct because a thorough visual inspection is a fundamental step in diagnosing engine condition, as it can reveal obvious issues that don't require more complex diagnostics. Technician B's method of locating oil leaks is not reliable because oil can travel along engine components before dripping, making the origin of the leak difficult to pinpoint just by observing where it drips on the floor.
