5sfe engines have numerous seals that could leak, cam,crank seals, There are 2 seals on the oil pump (driven by the timing belt) Both my st204 and my old st184 leaked heaps from here, not hard to replace if you have a bit of mechanical knowledge.

Knock sensor is not near the drivers side(top centre-ish at the rear of the block as it sits in the car), if it is coming fom that region it will most likely be valve cover seal/gasket. Could even potentially be distributor o-ring, depending on how far around it is leaking.

      Toyota estima raised suspension

      I love to know if he find the solution to raise his estima too. I can only manage to raise the rear of my 2008 estima with airbag installed, the front still low though.

      Toyota Landcruiser problems

      Ah yes . Oh what a reaming..... Toyota.!! I had an aftermarket electric tailgate opener fitted $1500. Closes the door from inside and out. Mines a vx. Reverse sensors only turn off with toggle with "car and witches hat" on 300. They stay off till switched back on. I put my keys in the door pocket.the jingling almost drowns out the squeaking of the middle seats I sent a hand written registered letter personally addressed to the CEO of Toyota Australia and he did not have the decency to reply. Emails go ignored Toyota Lack of Customer Experience centre inept and uneducated regarding the legislation they are required to operate under. At least the 300 here didn't have the 3.5 TT petrol. Are you listening Toyota.??? NEVER AGAIN

      200 series after market 35 inch tyres

      Ive seen a 200 with them fitted on the weekend and they were on 17s (GXL). The owner was very sheepish to say the least to pass on the info what had to be done other than some panel work on the from inner guards. 0 offset (bead lockers) and 3 inch lift and he still had rubbing. He was going to do some more panel work to allow the rubbing to not tear up inner guard (alloy plate) but it made my 200 with 20's and 2 inch lift look like a baby sitting next to it...

      300 series turbo issues

      Hope I haven't posted twice but the issue is that this happens at all and the drop in torque and AFR off the chart when it does (7th injector problem??). By the time you notice it you're in a torque hole and your DPF is starting to cough coping with the lousy mixture. Nothing to do but push more fuel in and accelerate aou of it. It happens regardless of whether you notice it or not and regardless of whether you're towing. can't be doing the DPF any good. They're $7 grand to replace. They're still selling them and not telling anybody that this "design characteristic" is what to expect from your perfectly designed engine. Hopefully dyno report is attached. Ask what your service manager thinks and watch them squirm

      Stout Owners

      Putting 15" or 16" on will only make it slower, won't have the power to pull higher gearing, trust me I know, my cousin has one. He ended up putting a 4y/ 5speed in it

      300 series turbo issues

      I have since found when it happened again on steep incline, lift foot on accelarater pedal, drops a gear and then back on the gas an no issue as is out of the rev range approx 2200 where it happens. (This is all done in a second so not a drama at all now for me when it happens)
