Condensor fan is the for AC condensor, not the intended to reduce the temperature of the engine coolant (though given its position next to the radiator it can't help but do so).

Unfortunately I'll be out there for work -- five days of training and after-hours networking. And no Celica, driving it out from B.C. would be a bit much.

Check the parking brake assembly. Inside the drum the shoes are held in place by hold-down springs. The springs are compressed by being mounted on pins. If the straight pin broke, or the curved pin st...

Even if he did replace them, he could have misaligned the spark plug tube seals.
The other possibility is the oil is actually coming up from the inside of the tubes. I'm less certain this is possible,...
