Well today I go to change my oil... and what do I find?.... Oil leak ... Not sure where it is coming from... But its really bad... So i just fill up the mottor with oil...


So since I was going to do the turbo i was planning on rebuilding or getting a newer used engine.. So i get on the phone call toyota .. long story cut short .. 4k for a uesed engine.. lol... well guess what i'm doing.. going to have to wait for my uncle now... and rebuild this enging ASAP ... and keep losts of oil in the trunk till then..

Is it internal or external?

looks like a bad seal... but my engine has 220k miles on it so who really nows..


anyone have an engine with uder 60k miles one it?

wow that sucks man, i might have one but it has 125k miles on it if i go through with my swap project. how fast are you losing oil?

new engine or engine rebuild just because of a oil leak???? Just find out where its leaking and fix it... I see cars with 50k miles on them leaking oil..Doesnt mean they need a new engine or rebuild at all. Gaskets and seals are cheap...find out whats leaking and fix it. Not too big of a problem..if its your rear main seal then its going to take some work...but its still like a 15$ seal.

oh i know if its just a seal problem its and easy fit... but since i was going to rebuild/ or get another eingine for my turbo project.. might as well do it now...

cool then...sounds like a plan

VERY good plan!!!

I decided to skip over things lastyear while getting the engine perped and now its been 18 months since I started and still no turbo.

I started when John started the 4agze project.
