Engine problem
1991 Toyota Corolla Front Wheel Drive Manual 230000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
Recently had my engine overalled on the vehicle. All valves and other parts replaced. Car now drives like a dream, however, once the car is stationary (parked) I find oil on the inlet/ outlet motor on the right-hand side, if you are facing the motor. Since then, I have taken the vehicle back, and they can not seem to find the problem. The car stands overnight and there is no leak. The minute you drive the vehicle, it starts to leak.

Hi there,

If you can see the leak why can't the mechanic? If it leaks when you drive it, they just have to give it a wash and take it for a drive to get it hot. Don't take no for an answer, they should check it carefully and rectify any leaks.
