There's that, but this could leak also. Theres two seals or this i guess is called a gasket, but since it's rubber i think its a seal.


THe oil pump bolts to the aluminum front cover. This is the seal that goes between the pump and the cover. When i took my oil pump off this entire seal was hard and cracked. It's not listed anywhere as a toyota part that i'm aware of because it just comes with a new oil pump.

Toyota sells that seal separately. Aaron at Partznet can get it for you.
But you are correct, you pretty much have to replace both those seals. They are a very common are for an oil leak and were leaking on my car.

Did you have the same problem as me?
I had an oil leak coming from the front area.


Why don't you just replace all the seals? I mean the seals are cheap its the labor that is expensive or time consuming if you're doing it yourself. Once you're in there it's easy to change these two oil seals and the front crank seal. I'd change all 3.



Actually the seal I posted was kinda a pain to get it to stay in it's little groove, but just add some oil or even a touch of gasket glue to get it to hold position while you bolt the pump back on.
