Oil pan gasket? Could be!

Ahmad88 · 07-04-2006, 09:00 PM

lol to tell you the truth i didn't know an oil pan had a gasket how much would it be to replace it? all together

Thats right below your oil filter, Im gonna bet your pan gasket is fine and what your seeing is just the build up before it drips off the edge. Make sure your filter is screwed on tight. Take a rag and wipe the area dry, then run the car and look for the leak.

I thought your car was siezed?

no i later found out that its jsut a starter, i got some people to listen to it and they have friends that had the same problem and they say its the starter, which is wut everyone i know is sayin, and the car wont start.sometimes it almost cranks over but it doesnt start up. i found the starter but cant unbolt it from the hood area and i need to wait for my brother to get home to help me jack it up to see if i can get it from the underneath but im kinda scared cuz i always have feelin its gonna roll off the jacks and slam on me.

If you are going to replace the oil pan gasket make sure you use Seal packing part # 08826-00080 from any toyota dealer. The gasket itself is only 7 bucks at any cheapass autostore, but take a look under the car.... you see that big suspension crossmember? Yea that has to come down along with the steering rack, whole front suspension etc. It is defineitly do-able but it will be hard to say the least.

im sorry but last night my car just died on me on the highway and i went to eat at wendy's that was near and when i came back i saw my car being towed while the alarm was going off, im walking back towards my car and i see it going down the highway with the headlights flashing. So im sorry if i wasted your time and effort but i really apreciate it, thankyou all

ummm...dude....were you like...

that has to suck. Your not having alot of luck with that car, and Im sorry to hear it.

Ahmad88 · 07-07-2006, 07:04 PM

lol i was doin that

but i was laughing at the same time. the reason why the headlights were turning off and on was because the alarm went off. also i saw the tow truck facing the wrong way of traffic so he was backing up in the grass a lil bit and i heard my bumper cracking or sumtin i was like AWWWW, OUCH!! then he started off and the alarm was going off, i was at luby's and the painters there were like isnt that your car being towed? i said yes while laughing and he asked why are you laughing, i said because the alarm is going off, hahaha while i was waiting for my brother to pick me up which he was like an hour away, cause i work at my dad's store in downtown houston on federal rd, and i live by 1960FM and walters rd, so the painters were taking a break and eating pizza and he gave me two slices and a drink. he said sry about your car, i said it was like a problem child went through 3 engines and still had problems, he said hope you have better luck with your next car.
