Hi guys, just signed up, great forum. Looking for a little info or similar issue.. A couple of weeks ago i noticed a drop of oil under the engine of my 79 in my drive way, after further inspection found the whole front of the engine and down the sump wet from eng oil. I have given it a clean and degrease now but it won't leak on idle and after a big drive it's alread covered the front of the engine and starting to drip again so it's very hard to pin point. My question is this, has anyone had a similar issue I.E front seal, timing cover ect? As they are very uncommon to be known to leak oil has me a bit stumped, the car has only done 74,000ks. Any help would be much appreciated.

cheers Macca

I did a quick internet search. For that particular post, the solution ended up being the oil sender unit.

Starting point is to thoroughly clean the engine. Then go for a test drive with a series of stopping and checking until you can identify the source of the leak.

      Low Fuel Warning Light Flashing

      Hi guys,I have 2 solutions to this problem, Me : I have an early 2015 VDJ200 and I got the "Fuel system error" come up on the dash, my fix was, 1. Checked the relay for the Jet Pump in the main tank, found that the relay was not getting the earth signal from the ECU (for whatever reason). This stops the subtank from emptying into the main tank. I earthed out the relay and now the Jet pump runs as soon as you start the engine, 3yrs later and still going strong, no fault codes, all that is different is that you can hear the pump run when turning on the ignition. 2. Second possible cause (as written up in the now defunct lcool.org) The wiring on top off the fuel pump lid (connector) can melt and cause a high resistance thus stopping the pump from operating and therefore causing the subtank not emptying into the main tank. I hope this helps everyone who has this fault. Please note this applies ONLY to the Turbo Diesel V8 Cheers, Paul

      79 series randomly dies under power

      Most likely culprit would be an intermittant Suction Control Valve on the HP Pump. I also wouldnt rule out some FOD in the Tank...Like a piece of plastic floating around in the tank and blocking the pick up

      2019 LC76 4.5 V8 Injector issues

      Bailey's Injector group..They DLC more than just the shaft like the stock Denso injectors. Run a 2 or 5 Micron Secondary Fuel Filter. This will make the Injectors last well over 400K if you change both the Filters regularly. Be very very careful when reading + injector values.. More times than not the ECU is compensating for a lazy Pot If the Engine has no EGR delete then the Intake will need cleaning, and normally it's Pot 4 that suffer first due to a less than tuned intake and the preferred intake airflow path

      1VD - Ticking Noise

      Cracked Rocker..Its been known to happen. Inspect the Roller Rocker arms. This Valve Train has a roller rocker Hyd. lash adjusters..If it ticks then it's either a cracked rocker arm or less likely a buggered seal in the lash adjuster

      LC 300 Engine Maintenance Required

      More likely the dealer has not cleared the Maintenance when done. I assume you have already had at least 1 service?

      BATTERY in Klugar 4 years old

      This indicates that the battery is getting due for replacement. As a general rule expect 3 to 5 years for the lifetime of the battery. There are a few posts about what batteries members have selected in the past. Recommended Century battery models are NS70LX MF and NS70L MF for Toyota KLUGER. Last battery that I purchased was a SuperCharge brand truck battery model MF80D26L which will also be suitable for a Toyota KLUGER. Just happens that my other Century battery which is 5 years old is currently being recharged so considering whether I really need to get a replacement.
