Well I brought my 87 HJ60 to the mechanic suggested by ROM (thanks Nicholas) and it appears that something along the right hand side of the engine is leaking. Possibly the engin oil cooler or the oil filter housing assembly.
The problem for me now is finding the gaskets for the engine oil cooler, oil filter housing and intake mainfold. I went to Toyota and initially they were saying that it was going to be a three day wait to get the parts in. It's been two weeks now and still no gaskets. They now say because of a delay the gaskets should be in in another two weeks time. I can't wait that long!!!
I've inquired at a couple of auto parts stores and they haven't heard of these parts, yet alone heard of a diesel made by Toyota.
Can anyone suggest any ideas or places I can go to for these gaskets. I can't begin tearing apart the engine unless I have the parts I need to reassemble the engine.
Help need quick......
