I have an oil leak, giving out about a quart or so every 3 or 4 days. The leak seems to be coming from the rear of the engine closer to the passenger side. My mechanic changed the valve cover gasket and I still have this leak. The new assumption is the crank seal. The charge is 380 (which is what I paid for my motor swap).
Is the 2.2 known to leak from any other possible place besides the Valve cover and oil pan? The real question is how hard is it to get to the crank seal on a 2.2 and am I being overcharged? I trust my mechanic but I'm a bit skeptical on his price. This post has been edited by PHLCELICA: Jun 16, 2008 - 3:24 PM -------------------- Celica *The Baby Supra*

I had a pretty extensive oil leak too from mid-rear of my engine, turned out to be the distributor O-ring seal. No more leak and its been 4 months now.

Hmmm sounds somewhat similar. I'll go ahead and just change it to since I'm gonna be pretty much changing the rest. Also I've used sea foam and it didn't stop the leak just made the car run better
