I owne an 80 series 1997 40th anniversary FJZ80, I bought it 2 years ago
I spent double it's price on restoring it to the way I like.
The only frustration is the oil leaks, some of them came back with no time even without pushing the vehicle hard or go 4x4 in it.
All the major things were fixed by experienced mechanics.
It has oil leaking from the front, thought to be oil pump with engine seal ( fixed them when changed the radiator)
Thought to be steering pump ( changed with it's hoses
Thought to be distributor , changed its rubber O ring
Still there is oil and looks heavy
Always covering the front and run on the engine body to the sump
I am sure the distribitor leaking again, I think from inside.
Due to extreeme frustration I ordered brand new Toyota one which cost me a fortune from over seas.
I do not know guys, I run out of ideas how to make it free of leaks
Also, the left front hub leaking again even though it was fully built 6 months ago
Every in and out to the mechanic was more than 1000$ as they big cars and hard to work on
Those are some pictures of my 80
The first 2 were on the day I bought it
Last one was last week
