Fj80 mechanics near Chicago

[FJ8th Amendment]

Hi fellow ih8'ers,

I'm new to the site with my 97 Lexus lx450. I got head gasket job done at Indy on s.s. of Chicago and months later I discovered a oil leak. Mechanic says it's from timing cover. However when I posted pic my fellow Ih8'ers say it looks like the typical oil pump gasket leak, which I've learned is mush cheaper. At this point I need a trustworthy knowledgeable mechanic to inspect and repair near me. I'm in Chicago south burbs. Car has 268k.
Thanks

I only know of mechanics who are qualified to work on 96 and 98 lx470s, not the 97s.

it's really critical to torque the front pulley.

Some pics I just took after cleaning engine. Looks like oil is coming from oil pump gasket as well as front seal,. Not the timing cover gasket my mechanic says is the culprit

Then bust some wrenches out and fix the leak. These trucks were made to be operated in 3rd world s*** holes, by people with limited knowledge and tools.

What makes you think that 3rd world people has limited knowledge? They might have limited resources, which makes them more knowledgeable and ingenious.

Having worked with plenty of people from 3rd world s*** holes, i have come to some conclusions.
