so today i found a nasty coolant leak when warming up . the outlet pipe was loose not @ the coupler in front of the timing belt cover but from the back where it bolt's to the block :cry: almost imposable to get at . i did manage to get to it but snaped a bolt trying to tighten it up . it was so loose you could shake it up and down . now i have to take it in to get fix'd :sobbing:
anyway ive had a small oil leak that seem's to be coming from behind the timing belt cover . anyone have an idea from what? i plan on having the timing belt and water pump all the belt's and thermostat replaced when i get the f-ing bolt fixed. :rant: if i had the space and time i would do it myself :rant:

the timing cover is sandwiched between the water pump(its part of the water pump), head, oil pan, and block. lots of gaskets there to go wrong. have them change your water pump and oil pan gasket while your at it. wont cost that much more.

If your lucky, your head gasket wont get torn when he takes off the Water pump housing/timing chain cover...

If your mech is good, and the Toyota gods smile upon you, your leaks will be cured.

good luck buddy
