Im thinking about buying a 2000 toyota camry XLE V6 and I noticed oil seeping above the exhaust manifold. Could the intake manifold be loose or could it be the head gasket?
Will this cost me a fortune to fix?

Hi there,

I would be thinking that it would be the valve cover gasket, if it is above the manifold it won't be a head gasket problem, you may just get away with re tightening it down as they are a rubber seal and there is often some give in them.
