oil leak

Hello, I have recently become a owner of 1997 Auto 3L Diesel 1KzTe Colorado/Prado. Whilst trying to bring back to life I have had large oil residue and leaks from top of the engine which was all over the Turbo side. I firstly changed the gaskets on Rocker Head due to signs of leak...

Fzj80 got the smallest oil leak coming from behind balancer wheel. Not even 1 drop a day on the floor, but want to get rid of it nonetheless. Any suggestions for sealing from the outside? Quoted to replace timing cover gasket but want to try this first. Thanjs

So my engine all of a sudden decided to just start leaking oil like crazy. Couldn't tell where it was coming from. Looked like a valve cover gasket failure is what I was thinking. Checked and replaced. Leak still happening. I finally found the leak hiding behind a hose and my spark plug wire...

Howdy! 100 series in question: 2000 with ~323k miles Long story short, replaced my TB and water pump summer of 23, while in there thought about replacing the oil pump but it was bone dry. WP Gasket didn’t seat properly, but it was headed to a shop for the dreaded ABS unit, so I had them...

Hi Everyone, I have recently purchased a 2006 LX470 with 200k miles. The last timing belt change was at 100k, so I started working on the timing belt change. As I dissasembled the engine, I saw it's heavily covered in old grease, suggesting an oil leak. However, I can't figure out if the oil...

Good morning everyone, Just joined the forum after recently purchasing my 1996 FZJ80 non-triple locking cruiser with 297,000+ miles on it. Loved the car so much after test driving it and just had to complete the purchase. Finding out there are some leaks that need to be tended to! The check...

I'm hoping to replace my oil pump seal in the next couple of weeks and I need the tool to remove the crank shaft. Does anyone have one they want to sell or rent to me? Thanks

Hi Mud, Just got this 2000 LC and took the engine cover off. I already wiped a bit of the grime off of the oil shaft and sides. I am getting ready to do the timing belt and water pump but I have to clean this first! I am guessing that the previous owner must have over filled the oil and had...

Hi all, I just manual swapped my 1kz surf. Test drove it up and down the street, works great but there was some oil dripping off the pan when I parked it. Wiped it off and went for a longer drive, same small amount of oil dripping off the pan. It appears to be running down the backside of the...

So I finally got the trany out this morning for my cruiser. Upon pulling I found the disc was worn well down to the rivets, but the bigger catch is that the rear head gasket is leaking oil into the bell housing. I have to get the flywheel machined and order some other parts, so I'm not in a rush...

I took my BJ42 to some cruiser specialists (L1 Automotive in Loveland) to have them diagnose an oil leak(s). Their diagnosis is that the tappet cover is leaking. I was told this is just below the valve cover. Looking at the engine repair manual, I see no mention of a tappet cover or anything...

Guys, Need some help, been chasing an oil leak. I thought I had it by replacing the following: -Oil filter housing to block gasket -Fuel pump to block gasket At low speeds (up to 50mph) I have min. oil leak, almost not noticeable. But at fwy speeds, the oil amount that leaks is all over the...

Alright well I hate to be here but here I am. Today i started noticing large amount of oil under my 97 lx450. The truck has always leaked a here and there but never this bad, seems to be spraying oil all over the axle and shocks and even after only being parked less then 20 minutes considering...

Took my 100 to a shop for a quick oil change a couple weeks ago and shortly after I started to notice oil spots underneath the vehicle. I had not had any oil leaking before this thought it was probably a cross threaded filter or something and decided to take it to a more reputable shop for them...

Is it possible to replace the steering knuckle oil seals without disassembling the steering knuckle and axle shaft?

I have a 2013 Lx 570. I have oil changed by an independent mechanic. I have 156k miles. Oil changed every 6k. What is this oil leak called? Valve cover gasket? How many labor hours?

First I bought a lot of suspension maintenance parts: motor/transmission mounts, tie rod ends, sway bar links and bushings, control arms, r/p bellows(they're torn and leaking fluid), and all the bushings for those trailing arm things in the rear. Tried to hit close to everything. Hoping for the...

so I was doing some maintenance and noticed an oil leak behind the ac condenser. I was thinking maybe the oil cooler or the cam seal( noticed oil on the underside of where the front main seal would be) Anyone got an idea ? Thanks in advance (I had already cleaned most of it up before I took...

So took my FJ40 (1982) for a cruise around Toronto. At a stop; I noticed an oil leak; it was a little more than just a few drops.... so it was concerning. Traced the oil to the 2nd spark plug. At least, that was the only wet oil stain that aligned with the oil on the floor. Checked the...
