I've got a 94 GT with the 2.2 liter. I've got an oil leak somewere on the passanger side of the engine. I've replaced the gasket around the cam, and the value cover gasket. I know this is a normal problem for the 2.2's. My uncle said he has a lady coming in the shop with week with a Camry that is showing a leak somewere around the same place. My question is, has anyone found out what this is that leaks? I can replace gaskets one after the other, but it'd be nice to know what's there. I'm going to put some dye in it so I can see the leak under a black light. So if no one can tell me were it's at, I'll be back to post and tell everyone else were it's at. If this is as common as I think it is, everyone should know.
Also. I know there's something that always breaks on the ingition system that's commonly misdiagnoesed on these 2.2's. I'll ask my uncle what that is. If the modderates won't put up a Common Problems forum, I'll try to start my own. -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy

The "not running well" problem turned out to be a simple vacuum hose. It now idles and runs like a champ (for what it is).
It still has the oil leak, it looks like it is coming from thet oil pump gasket area and will take it on soon. I'll still do the cam shaft seal and distributor seal. I don't like to spend $ on things not needed, but am considering replacing the oil pump anyway. Are there any suggestions on a replacement. I usually use either genuine Toyota or NAPA parts. For now, it's back to work after a nice week spent in the garage. Happy new year! |
