This is my first post. I bought a 1992 toyota camry, have had struts done, a CVR boot on the right side, and just had an oil leak fixed, or so I thought, they replaced the timing belt, front seal, camshaft oilseal, and the crankshaft oil seal (and waterpump).

I take it home, and it is still leaking heavily on the driveway like before. Where it is leaking, I am guessing it is the pan gasket, which they didn't apparently check. Im low on money after these repairs and I think I can do this. I don't know how to change the oil, but I will be willing to learn.

Can anyone tell me what I will need to replace the pan gasket, including socket sizes, and how to remove the oil and suck.

I really appreciate anyhelp, email at jmg04d@acu.edu also if preferred

Hi there,

Before tearing into the sump which is chemically sealed and normally never leaks, i would get the engine cleaned & checked for this oil leak first, check oil pressure switch, oil filter, sump plug first.
