As noted last night, my rig is leaking. A lot. I guess something was only good for 258,000 miles on the 3VZE engine.
The entire right side of the engine and frame rail are soaked and it drips down onto my steering linkage before hitting the ground. The oil pan itself is relatively dry, except for the passenger rail which is soaked.
I welcome your theories and experienced replies. I'll try to add a photo. Everything is so wet, it will be hard to trace the source.
EDIT:
OK, I took some camera phone pics, but they are useless.
The bottom of the crank is not nearly wet enough to be the source. The A/C compressor is soaked so it is above that. The high pressure hose seems to be soaked too. The power steering pump is right above the AC compressor...What else. Valve cover gasket. The sprk plug holes are not wet so the vavle cover might be OK.
Maybe it IS the pump or lines. I sure hope that is all it is!
