Taggy Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) oil pump seal or crank seal,or sump. Edited March 26, 2014 by Taggy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
symoep91 Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 Still leaking when car isn't switched on if helps? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 most starlets have a tiny weep from the sump.its notoriously hard to seal and isnt uncommon even if still standard sealant Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davehart Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Could well be the sump, mines been like it for 7 years and after 3 re-seal attempts it's still doing it. They are a bugger for it. if its not the sump the seal behind the crank shaft could well be at fault. Whip the timing cover off and have a look for oil trails. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
