Batmax Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Yesterday I run my supra and notice e lost some oil leak (a lot)see these pics, what could be ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Which side of the car is that? I can't tell from the pictures. Is your turbo water or oil cooled? I'm sure it goes without saying, but don't start the engine if it's low on oil (check the dipstick). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmax Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 That is the part of the oil filter and I think the leak is over there, oil level it's ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Stupid question, but is the filter on tight enough but not overly tight? With the rubber seal in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 To me it looks like the std water cooler, and if its leaking from above, then i would check the nut that holds the whole assembly tight against the block adaptor. Must add that i have never seen that kind of oil filter on a Supra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batmax Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Well find these I is exacly like my problem hope these help if anyone have the same problem : I had an engine oil leak coming out of the driver side of my MKIV. When I pin pointed the source of the leak, it was coming out of the stock oil cooler, it would only leak when the engine was running. I tried to find some diy on fixing this but I didn't, so I decided to take some pics when I fixed the problem and write a little guide for those who have the same issue. It is simple and straight forward. Legal stuff: I'm not responsible if you brake your car, follow guide at your own risk. Bla Bla etc. Parts needed: Outer o ring 90301-61003 Inner o ring 15785-35010 Tools: Oil filter wrench. Ratchet with 10mm socket and ext. Stubby ratchet with 30mm short socket. ½ Braker bar. Needle pliers. Steps: Jack up the car drain the coolant and remove the oil filter. Remove the battery. Remove the fuse box and the relays so you can access the bolts to remove the power steering reservoir bracket. Remove the wire harness. Remove the 3 bolts from power steering reservoir bracket and pull it out of the way. Using the braker bar and the 30mm socket brake the oil cooler valve loose, then use the stubby ratchet to finish getting it out. Disconnect the left coolant bypass hose from the cooler( I only disconected the one on the left of the cooler). Remove the 2 old o rings. Clean the mating surfaces. Lube the 2 new o rings and install. Make sure that the outer o ring is sitting securely under the metal tabs. Reinstall the the cooler valve and tight to 56 ft.pd. Reinstall the coolant bypass hose. Connect ps oil reservoir Install oil filter. Fill with engine coolant, Start engine and check for leaks. I think that's all, any comments and sugestions are really appreciated.

Chris Wilson Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Oil leaks at the O ring between the housing and the block are fairly common, I also did one a bit ago that had a deformed oil cooler housing, probably it had been overtightened at some stage in the past.
