Watch a video of the actual oil leak here: • Toyota Camry Large Oil... Oil pump housing seal became hard, brittle, and cracked causing a massive engine oil leak when cold.
this was exactly the problem with our car, and you would think that was the exact same curmbling gasket. Thank you for sharing it saved us a lot of time and money trying to diagnose it. Just an FYI, doing this is not for the faint of heart. Find someone with some knowledge of how car parts are supposed to work. My awesome neighbor came down and fixed ours in a couple of hours. He also watched the video just for reference. To the question below about how to make the gasket stay in, i can't remember what it's called, but my person just some black goop made just for that. Hope that helps :) good luck on your leaks
Thank you! This is what just happened to my 98. I don't have the tools or space to fix it myself, but at least I can go to the mechanic and have some understanding of what to expect.
I did this job, 8 months ago. My friend said use the Oreillys "Dorman fix kit" which has the large o-ring seal and the small shaft seal. What Garbage, it failed in 8,000 miles. 8 months. Original Toyota parts ONLY is what id recommend. I hate doing things twice.
This was insanely helpful, i was trying to figure out everything before I got it torn apart. I will be doing all my seals on this rav4 2.2 thanks to this.
Theres 2 seals on that oil pump,i hope you changed both of them,what the heck though its an easy fix like you say,youll just have to do it again.i just did mine and I don't see it to be an easy fix,and I do this for a living,have fun.
Yeah that oil drip comes right from above the oil pan so it looks just like an oil pan leak but it's not. So what ALL should be done together? Oil Pump Gasket and sprocket gasket (the one you missed this vid), Water Pump, Timing Belt, Cam Seals front and back, Serpentine Belts... What about the rear main seal and is there a timing cover gasket?
I'm about to remove the timing belt on my '97 celica. Was figuring out where the small oil leak was coming from and how to fix it. Great video and thanks!
Still leaking oil after replacing the oil pump seal, crankshaft seal, oil pan seal, camshaft seal, and valve cover seal. The only part I didn’t replace is rear main seal and the valve cover distributor seal plug on my 98 Camry 2.2 I’ll buy the the seal plug and see if that’s the culprit, if not, rear main seal replacement which I’m totally dreading 🤬
The timing belt pulls down on the cam gear if it gets a little dry it wears the journal down to the point where no seal will stop it from leaking,out the seal and down the back of the rear timing cover,this looks like bad oil pump or power steer pump because oil is running down from very top and dripping down on them.can only be fixed with a new head also you have to pack that oil pump with vaseline before you put it back on or it wont prime,
mine is a 96 Camry LE . I bought a parts package deal from ebay that included water pump, oil pump, idlers, timing belt, pretty much everything. Timing belt failed less than 25k miles later because the new oil pump leaks at this silly band of a gasket. I'll add that I did notice upon inspection that the bolt holes in the new pump castings didn't locate quite right at part machining. Quality issue relative to source and/or cost ? Who knows ? Anyway... Today I have a 5 dollar "silly band", etc.. to put it back together. Wondering if a small amount of RTV sealant is recommended. None present at teardown.
I get check engine in my car and it has to do with a sensor leaking and it might be the transmission sensor leaking, do you have a video on how to change the sensor on a 1998 Toyota Camery
Hi , I have a 97 Toyota Camry LE , 4 cylinders , I have a leaking on my car that seemed to come from the oil pan gasket , after making a new seal there using silicon , we found that the leaking continued , my mechanic told me that he was sure the leaking comes from the oil pump , and that if so , seals there must be changed , timing belt needs to be changed , as well as water pump , my question is : if the leaking really comes from the oil pump and all these parts need to be changed , do we have to take out the oil pan gasket again in order to have the job done ?

Damn.... I wish I lived in your neighborhood right about now with a neighbor that can do mines in a few hours..... I'd pay him whatever he needed
The black goop is called Permatex The Right Stuff 1-Minute Gasket, and you can use it to make your your own gasket.

boy this just saved me a bunch of head ache trying to figure out where the hell my leak is coming from, thanks for the info
Ive got an oil leak on my 2.2 and I was looking today to see where it was leaking from. Now I see your video it could well be the oil pump seal.
Looking at buying one of these 2.2 Toys and it is leaking oil. Now I know where to check. Thanks for sharing!

Common problem in the 2.2L. Make sure to use the OEM gasket. Aftermarket gaskets do NOT hold up for this. It should be changed with every timing belt.
I heard Fel pro is a pretty good brand too

Rear main? No way man you have to pull the engine or drop trans to do a rear main.
Cool video... but for me, removing timing belt would be quite stressful...
It’s a non interference engine it’s pretty straight forward. One of the easier belts
I'm about to remove the timing belt on my '97 celica. Was figuring out where the small oil leak was coming from and how to fix it. Great video and thanks!
5SFE motors are very leaky engines in general but at least they were easy to fix/maintain..

Thanks, Great video and information.. Tuff leak to diagnose. I will suggest this to my friend who his replaced everything, But oil pump gasket ...
Preciate the video mines just started leaking today 🤯
Nice video. Thanks for posting!
Cold and heat. Fucking Florida, this is probably what is going on with my Camry
How's ur car going. Did u find problem
The timing belt pulls down on the cam gear if it gets a little dry it wears the journal down to the point where no seal will stop it from leaking,out the seal and down the back of the rear timing cover,this looks like bad oil pump or power steer pump because oil is running down from very top and dripping down on them.can only be fixed with a new head also you have to pack that oil pump with vaseline before you put it back on or it wont prime,
When you pack the oil pump with vaseline do you just fill the rotor cavity ?

THANK YOU finaly found the problem with my camry!!
Great video loved all the extra advice
I got a same problem as you in my 2001 toyota camry.
Thanks I shave same leak I tod was the power steering pump thanks again
Great video
Oh! Bad oil seal😳
Thanks, I have had 2 '99 Camry's that have had this same problem. Wonder why Toyota let it go on so long?
Thank you so much , this helped me alot 🙏🏽
ah u need 2 seal for that oil pump or u looking at doing it a second time my friend.haha lol.
Impeller seal also
I get check engine in my car and it has to do with a sensor leaking and it might be the transmission sensor leaking, do you have a video on how to change the sensor on a 1998 Toyota Camery
?
Looks like the same issue im having. Any idea how much a mechanic would charge. I have never done a timing belt removal..
2:20, the sensor is the only thing that is wet, so for the quick fix, the sensor should be fine for the only thing replaced, correct?
after remove the 7 screws on the oil pump, how to get the oil pump off the car (I still have the bolt on. )? Any method to take it off? Thanks!
Thanks for this!

No
DO YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE TWO SIMPLE BELT? I THINK SERPENTINE AND AC BELT IN THE SAME AREA?
yes
Yes huge help. THANK U
Excellent video how to do mine here soon
to remove the oil pump do you have to take out the timing belt
I think so.
how do you set the timing belt ? and is the 2.2 a interference engine that will destroy its self if the belt snaps ?
the 2.2 is NOT NOT a interference engine
Is not interferance
@Polymer Tools hey how's ur car going
@Polymer Tools Yes
Outstanding!
Hi, I want to see how you put the seal gasket that keeps dropping .Thanks
sealet add some to it.haha lol.
Exactly the same thing I have going on
HELLO DO YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE WHOLE TIMING BELT BOTTOM AND TOP OR JUST HALF BOTTOM?

I think this is the problem with mine

Maybe for the 3.0 not 2.2
whatever you do DO NOT USE AN OFF BRAND OIL SEAL ON THE OIL PUMP GET THE ACTUAL TOYOTA OPART AND NEVER USE DORMAN PRODUCTS THEIR SEALS ALL SUCK
😊😊😊
Grtting the timing right was a bitch for me.
