didnt even no it had em hahaha

SXV20 Camry 5SFE heads have 3 blanking plugs to fill in the ends of the camshaft line-bores - 2 "half-moon" plugs on the ends of the head in line with the exhaust camshaft, and one full blanking cap on the passenger-end of the head inline with the intake camshaft (where the distributor fits on the SXV10/Celica 5SFEs). They are all common leaking points if they aren't re-sealed properly when the cam cover gasket is changed.

Had another look seems it could very well be the o-ring on the dizzy lol typical i shouldve replaced it when i did the internal dizzy shaft seal and bearing -_-
