Hey guys,
So I’ve had a fair bit of oil leaking from my motor for some time, and I finally traced a fairly comprehensive oil leak out of the back of my alternator/vacuum pump area. My clutch has been making wierd scratching noise for a wee while and the pedal is a bit stiff every once in a while. It’s a 1987 BJ71 with the factory boosted clutch.
I can’t really replicate the clutch noise but it sometimes happens when I brake hard suddenly and push the clutch in at the same time.
Is my vacuum pump dying? If so, what’s my best course of action? New vac pump from Toyota is $700 plus shipping so that’s probably out!
Any advice or thoughts are welcome.
Cheers!
