EP70-PT Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) So since I removed my front bumper I noticed a major oil depot on the bottom/middle of the timing cover: Engine has 220k km on the clock Edited April 3, 2016 by EP70-PT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 You might be lucky mate that could just be a simple rocker gasket or possibly a cam shaft oil seal definitely looks like it's coming from the top half of the engine and running down Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EP70-PT Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 I just changed the rocker gasket, have to remove the timing cover to check everything out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I just changed the rocker gasket, have to remove the timing cover to check everything out was it a genuine Toyota gasket? Some of the others don't seal properly and leak at the back of the engine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EP70-PT Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 It was already like this, I changed it and the car is not moving since january so can't be the new gasket i think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Walker96 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 It was already like this, I changed it and the car is not moving since january so can't be the new gasket i think I had this didn't just changed rocker gasket as well so didn't think it where that. But it was a cheap ebay one so I got a genuine toyota one and it's stopped. So might be that if you don't have genuine one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EP70-PT Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Will try then, will give it a degrease first, where can I get a good one + rocker cover nut seals? (The spark plug seals that came with it are good enough) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletezy Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 looks like rocker gasket to me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EP70-PT Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Maybe from the old one? I have to take the engine out soon so will give it an overall Quote Link to post Share on other sites
