hey, just wondering has anyone on here ever had an oil leak from the crank seal on the front of the engine? i noticed mine yesterday. Also my mate has a 1992 soarer and if he drives it off boost for days at a time it won'te leak oil, but when he gets up it, only around the block for instannce, when you jack it up it is leaking oil from around the sump gasket. Would that be caused by the sump being pressurised in some way at all?
Any help would be appreciated.

If he hasn't replaced the PCV valve during his ownership, it might be a good idea to do so, as a faulty one WILL pressurise the sump & cause oil leaks at gaskets and seals.
Plus it's a cheap & easy place to start. Approx $36 from ya Toyota dealer.
PS: Also replace the grommet that the valve fits into..........about $6 - $10 bucks from memory.

how do you know when the timing belt is due to be changed?i have heard 100,000 ks is this right? does it make a noise to indicate it is rewted or is it just a standard procedure the 100,000 rule?
