oil leak, how much to fix? UPDATE Options

[celicamike]

Hey guys, as some of you may know, I've had a small oil leak in my '94 GT 5S-FE for a while now, but lately its been getting worse. So on saturday, I finally climbed under my car to see where the leak is coming from. It looks like the oil is leaking out from under the timing cover, so my guess is its the front crank seal. According to my repair manual, the seal can be replaced without removing the engine or oil pump, but you do have to remove the timing belt and timing gear. So what I want to know is, how much will it be to have the seal replaced? I will probably take it to Toyota to have the work done. If any of you have already done this, where did you go and how much was it? Were you satisfied with the fix? Thanks a lot

i live in lancaster. i didn't think anyone else om this site was from this hellhole. i've never replaced that seal on my car but i've done most of the work on my car and would be willing to help you if you wanted to try and do it yourself. sierra toyota sucks!! they have constantly screwed up my orders from their parts dept. and have poor customer service too. i never take my car to the stealership for work.
