it seems like it may be a good deal? 5-sd or auto tranny???
oil leak is minimal, just replace the oring w/ a toyota dealer oring, not a aftermarket oring. It could be laking through the shaft also, but hard to say without piks.. have it checked for a head gasket leak also.. its a common problem unfortinately..

yep, get a block test done to check for bad hg & do a compression check... at least you'll know if the motor is reasonably good

the o-ring is what seals the cps/dizzy in the head.. it will be old and plastic now so won't be doing a hell of a lot and will leak oil onto the exhaust manifold.. get an oem replacement and you'll be sweet

good luck with the car and post some pics

pleas forgive my ignorance but what do you mean "hg"?
sorry ive never heard of a block test.
what all do they check for on the test?

suprra_girl · 12-29-2005, 11:12 AM

oh heh sorry... just habit to type the abbreviation

hg = head gasket

block test is like a rocket shaped tube with a rubber bung on the end, you fill it with blue fluid that is supplied with the kit and then put it in the top of the radiator where the cap would normally be
you then hold it in there till your thermostat opens and the water circulates... if the blue turns yellow or green you have exhaust gasses in your water
