Oil leak :(

[edd_t]

Seem to have a small oil leak. I've put a drip tray under the car and its very minimal, about 5-6 rain drops worth in the last week. Its only happend in the last couple of weeks and have had no problems prior to that.

Has anyone got a photo of the underside of the Supra, so I can point out where its coming from then get some suggestions?

Cheers,

Edd...

I think mine might be leaking the same. Very very few drops. Wonder what it is. Watching this thread intently as well.

Im having the same problem at the moment too, possible culprits are

Front main oil seal
Rear main Oil Seal
Sump
Rear of the cam covers

Id pressure wash the underside first and then inspect under a ramp

sounds weird, but do you think changing the dipstick might have an effect? ive recently had a bling bling one in there, rather than the standard, if anything though it feels a tighter fit.

with a pic of the underside i can point out where the oil is coming from, obviously it could be traveling from somewhere else though.

Do you have a sandwhich plate for any sensors? I was leaking oil from mine recently.

Is it coming from the side that the oil filter is on??
If so then i have the same problem very minimal leakage but still annoying but Im getting it looked at when it goes for a service so ill try and let you know if it gets fixed!!!!:rolleyes:

same with mine, i didn`t drive it for about 4 months and last week i`ve start to drive it and now it`s leaking not to much just a few drops

its quite central where my leak is. I can see the wet stuff on a silver part, its retanglur and about the same size as an old vhs (only way i can explain it) and it have ribs going along it. a picture really would help! lol.

mine is due for a service at the end of august so i might just bring that forward to get it sorted.

Just had my oil service and they said that there was some oil coming from where the oil filter is, it could have not been on quite well enough or the oil filter gasket could need changing but i need to see if it continues for a few days and see what happens as its not a major leak!!
Also had a small leak from an oil line apparently underneath the turbo's that looks like it sweating and hence the leak, however again can be changed quite easily!
Dont know if this might be any of the problems you have but said i would let you know what happened!!!
