I cant find new seals only seals toyota can get me is the 2jzge seals so my question is are the seals the same as the 2jzgte.
Also the tuner cant get the chip to pick up the rpm signal from the ecu so hopefully he can sort that out after i fix the oil leak.

The best way to tell is the part number. If it's the same, then it'll work. If they're different, chances are the 2jz-gte seals are (for example) engineered to hold in more crankcase pressure, or to be reliable over time when exposed to more heat. My advice is to definitely get the correct seals, even if you have to wait for them to come from Japan. In the meantime, put some cardboard under your car to catch the drips.
Are you still running stock cams? If not, aftermarket cams can be slightly further away from the magnetic pick-ups. Combine that with the reduced level of signal tolerance variations in aftermarket ECUs ('yota ECUs have very robust signal pick-up algorithms - that's one of the many reasons 'yota cars run reliably for 200K+ miles), that would explain the issue. I've heard of folks that have to shave the plastic in the magnetic pick-up to bring the sensor ever so slightly back towards the sensor 'finger(s)' on the cam.
