I believe that is part of the oil pump replacement? I do plan on replacing that. I assume the new oil pump typically comes with new seal? Regardless though I have heard that it is a good idea to put on a new particular seal from Toyota that is sized differently (in thickness) so that the seal will sit differently than the original one did thereby stopping oil leakage.

Had a blown head gasket a little over a year ago. Lucky I had no head warp, did all the work myself (small muscle help here and there and had the head machined clean/smooth before reinstall). If you feel confident enough to start pulling stuff, im sure you can get it done. I personally recommend purchasing a factory manual, it will cost a little $$ but the information was exactly what I needed when certain videos or unstruction didn't quite make sense. Has all your torque specs and good diagrams. Granted I somehow never saw this website which probably would have made things quite a bit easier. I also purchased all metal guides to avoid another guide break, and recommend taking tons of your own before photos for referance. Bungee cord made life so much easier to keep the chain in place between processes. I also found that labeling helps if you are doing this over a period of time. Sharpie (the brand, makes oil based markers now) i used these in several colors to keep track of specific groups of parts. Labeling even the page numbers in my manual for install on the parts baggies. Good luck!
