Hi...

I got my 93 Camry recently, after doing a service. It had been found that there is a oil leak onto the exhaust pipe which give a bad smell.

The mechanics told me it is expensive to fix, as the location for oil leak is somewhere 'secret'. He said is not a big problem, not necessary to fix

Wht do you guys think ? Is it a must a fix that part ?

I am worry...

Normally to just top up the oil from what I know.

Maybe see if the leak is dripping on the floor? Get old piece of carpet and put under the engine where you park it. I currently have a very small oil leak at the distributor O ring at the moment... every couple of months I can wipe with a rag and it's all gone. It really just does depend on how much it's leaking.

I've got a similar problem with my 94 camry.

At the moment It is fine if I monitor it.

Once a week or so before I drive it in the morning I check the oil level, it should be at the full level on the dispstick. If it's not then top it up.

It takes about a litre of oil to bring it up from the low level to the full so I use that to gauge how much to add.

Thanks heaps GUYS...

the problem is there is actually no oil dripping onto the floor...

and the most worrying thing is the 'dripping sound' after i turn off my engine..

the dripping is quite fast and it sounds like it drops to a empty pan...

can V6 camry driver give me a photo of how does the dispstick looks like if the engine oil is full level ??

thanks agains guys

Hi guys - new to the forum - interestingly I had the same problem with my 2.2 litre Camry after a service from one of the cheapo guys, but was leaking from the distributor. I added a litre of penrite 10W60 oil I had in the garage and the leak stopped! I would say in my case at least crap oil! I've now changed the oil to penrite and have no problems with that leak anymore!

You lads might wanna try a thicker oil maybe? 10w50 or something like that...

Just like any oil drips, all you can do is look closely at the noise when it's happening. If not, drive over to the mechanics and get him to find out where the dripping noise is coming from?

      Brake issues

      BTW forgot to mention that there is no shake in the steering wheel. The 'shudder', really hard to describe but almost like brakes on and off. Cannot identify front or rear or both. Got me totally miffed.

      Brake issues

      Hi everyone, new to this forum - refugee from LCOOL. Had a minor shudder when applying the brakes. Also was somewhat intermittent. Having over 100k on the clock a lot which were done towing a big van, I thought I may have warped a disk. Checked them with a dial gauge but no useful info. Bit the bullet and replaced all 4 with new slotted rotors and pads from DBA. Huge difference in braking. However the shudder has return almost with a vengeance. Thought I fixed the problem when I disconnected the ECU for another unrelated issue. ECU is remapped, car went in limp mode and could not clear it with the scangauge. Problem not fixed and I am lost as to why this is happening. Plan on visiting Berima Diesel later on this year to have the injectors checked and I'll get them to look at the brakes if I still haven't figured it out. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thank you

      Hi everyone, new to this forum - refugee from LCOOL. Having read some of the replies, to the best of my knowledge there is no such thing as a minor remap. Toyota in their wisdom have the software in the ECU such that it cannot be downloaded, modified and reloaded. It has to be a complete reload, either stock or modified. All you fellows disconnecting the battery is a good and simple way to try and reset everything but similar results can be achieved by simply disconnecting the ECU. That's the big plug in the firewall passenger side. Meanwhile I may need to start a new topic for the following issues I am experiencing: Had a minor shudder when applying the brakes.

      G’day from NSW

      G’day All just got a 2012 (old shape) Corolla Ascent Hatchback Auto. Needs a few things done, it was my Dads who just passed away. Going to install pioneer head unit (basic one really) as a start, then maybe upgrade speakers but I’ll see how the oem ones go, I’ve read I’ll need at least 50w ones for the pioneer. Front inner plastic guards are a bit trashed along with bumper bar, just need to neaten it up a little. cheers Sparky

      Head Unit Replacement for 2010 Toyota Corolla Hatch

      G’day TGA, hope you got this sorted, just about any 2 din would fit. I’m putting a pioneer one in but I’d like to know how to pull the trims apart to fit it 🤨 Every video shows the sedan with a different gearshift with short trims to remove but those 2 lower side ones are 1 piece on the hatch and I’m struggling. Do I need to remove console box to start removing those side piece. Any help cheers Sparky
