i am a fairly mechanical person. i figure would be better for me to spend 3k on a jap car than 2.5-3k on a german car i have no idea how to work on. i ran through the car the other night there is a little oil on the rocker cover seems normal...
It is normal. New cam cover gaskets (DOHC=no rockers ) and new cam cover bolt grommets fix this.

(this is first thing that must get fixed)......
Agreed...that's top priority - please post photos and I can advise more specifically.

i test drove it the other day its been sitting for a while and the rotors are a ltad rusty but that will scrub off in a day of driving no worries there. i dont want to sink much cash into this car as i will sell it again before i leave germany. thanks in advance for your help
It's a TT right? If so, why sell it? (Just curious...)

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
