Hey guys, New to this website.

 

I have a 1991 Toyota Camry (3SFE motor) lately i've had an oil leak that i thought was coming from the sump plug. replaced the sump plug and washer, it has worked mostly but im still having a leak where its either still leaking out of the sump plug, or its coming from somewhere else. would anyone have an idea where abouts it could be coming from?

It should be relatively easy to confirm whether it is still leaking from the sump plug. First step is to thoroughly clean around the sump plug so that it is totally clean and dry. Easy and safe way to do this is to put the vehicle up on ramps. Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes. If no obvious leaks go for a drive to get the engine up to operating temperature. When you return, put the vehicle up on ramps and check the sump plug area.

Personally I would start by cleaning the engine from top down with engine degreaser with particular attention around the valve covers and their seal.

Following YouTube video should be useful in tracking down those oil leaks.
