Page Turner Posted July 4, 2018 Share #3 Posted July 4, 2018 ...I have been chasing an oil leak on my wife's 2000 Camry this week. I finally located it at one corner of the oil pan. You would not believe how many things you need to disconnect on the exhaust system to drop the oil pan on that car. Then, when you do manage to get that off, it's put together not with a real gasket, but with a formed sealant, so it won't pull off easily, instead you need to cut the line with a blade of some sort, and then clean all that crap thoroughly off the mating surfaces to reseal it. I just overtorqued it on that corner, which will hopefully slow it down a little until I feel more adventurous. That whole under the car on jack stands thing is getting to be less fun these days. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, does it leave an oil stain that looks like the one in my garage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are brake fluid, transmission fluid, power steering, and engine oil systems. You're just on the first step of the adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team scooter Posted July 4, 2018 Share #6 Posted July 4, 2018 My wife was bragging how she made record time driving her little van down south to visit our son, drafting and running at ludicrous speeds in both directions. Until I pointed out the oil leak from the oil breather when she got back home. It looked more like this though. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Page Turner Posted July 4, 2018 Share #7 Posted July 4, 2018 ...I just don't think it's oil. It looks more like some other stain to me. What have you been doing in the garage besides parking ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheep_herder Posted July 5, 2018 Share #12 Posted July 5, 2018 I thought it looked like a long horn that had been bitten in the face by a rattlesnake. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But can get more money as you can help prove Jesus's existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
