So lately my 5S has been steadily leaking oil. I've located the majority of the leak coming from the lower corner of the timing case where there is a seal hanging there. The other bit I believe is coming from the oil pan. So i'm gonna start with replacing the t-belt and water pump and cam and crank seals. But I have never done a t-belt replacement before so I need some help. Is there a how-to post for this somewhere? Or can anyone give me some helpful advice and what tools to use and parts to replace while doing this and what all needs to be removed?? Thanks!

make sure that the crank and cam gears line up right with the timing. if you look closely at the teethes on the crank and cams, youll find and arrow. match these arrows with a small indented line on the top of the crank and cam teethes. if you dont line these up right your timing will be off. theres probably hundreds of DIY explanations you can search up on google. its not too hard. just make sure the timing is dead on, and dont break/rip/tear your new seals when putting them on. you can rub some Vaseline on them so they can slip in easier.
