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!

For a guy who's never done a timing belt replacement before, yanking the engine out might be a huge undertaking. Although I agree that you can replace all kinds of good stuff with the engine out. Now your 100 dollar job turned into a 1000 dollar job (give or take)
