I'm leaking quite a bit of oil from the back of my engine. Ive isolated it to the back right side under the intake manifold. Other than the head gasket and oil pan gasket, is there anything on the back which could be causing me to lose oil? I checked my radiator for signs of oil and didn't see any so if its a head gasket leak, it hasnt gone into the coolant yet. Thanks guy!!!

I have an oil leak coming from the right half of my oil pan gasket, here are the pics to show you guys what Im talking about. any ideas where the leak is coming from?... I also just resealed the lower oil pan to the upper oil pan with the toyot fipg sealant about 10,000 miles ago. My guess is that the leak is coming from the upper oil pan to the engine... any ideas how much that should cost?

My guess is that the leak is coming from the upper oil pan to the engine... any ideas how much that should cost? in these pics it looks like it is above the upper pan as well, which would lead to front main seal, and or cam seals. your gonna open that side of the motor, i would be sure to get all the seals for that side (theyre only ~30 for everything) that way once its open you can replace them all and not worry about more leaks from other old seals down the road. the uv dye works great BTW, you could use that to pinpoint the leak. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
