sosolid Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 So i found another oil leak. When i park up the car leaves a drop of oil right underneath the timing belt cover and so when i look underneath the bottom of the cover is covered in oil. I changed the cranshaft seal 4 years ago so could it be that or something else? Quote
Ollieh17 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Could be rocker cover. Spent ages driving to fix oil leaks on my 4e. Fighting a Losing battle, 4efte is about as useful as a sieve for keeping oil Quote
DavidAshton Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Rocker cover for sure, get a proper Toyota gasket, I tried an off the shelf and it leaked even worse. Quote
GP82 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Yeah clean off all the leaking oil completely then run the engine up and just look to see where it is leaking from. Good luck. Quote
sosolid Posted March 13, 2016 Author Posted March 13, 2016 So i looked round the rocker cover and its bone dry. the leak seems to be coming from underneath the timing belt cover. I cleaned all the old oil and drove it for 30 mins and looked under and the bottom of the cover is wet. Ive changed the crank seal about 4 years ago i say. What else is under there that can leak now that it leaves a spot everywhere i park? Quote
carson230 Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Its most likely the crank seal again, or it could be the sump Quote
TimD Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Could be a cam seal, have you had the top part of the cover off to check? Quote
sosolid Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 no im gona take the top part off. hope its that. Quote
RobSR Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Back of the rocker cover..its hard to see as mines weeping a little there at the moment..Oil seeps between the too covers and gathers at the bottom. Quote
Walker96 Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Have the same oil leak used a very cheap rocker seal believe it's that as it's all over cam over and under rocker getting genuine toyota one Fri. Quote
