Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hey guys i drive a 94 2.4 ltr hilux surf and i have noticed im leaking oil it seems to be from the bottom of the engine at the front you can see the oil on the bottom just behind the pulley any ideas where its leaking and how expensive it could be to fix

any help will do please guys wanna know how much im up for b4 i go book it in to be fixed

sounds like your front main seal is farked

would probably take about 4hours to do, $30 seal (max) so say $350ish

cool thanks for the info mate i remember doing a main seal on my old V8 and it was fuckin expensive is the rear main heaps more to fix than front?

The front Crank seal is a big job. $10 - 20 for the seal and as much work as doing a Timing Belt job. If it's leaking you may need a new Timing Belt. Check the Water Pump (better to replace at same time) as well. Rear Main is gear box out job and about $65 for the seal.

ps: PM me if you want a good price on timing belt kits. I will have some available soon with all OEM Parts.

thanks for thew info nev timing belt isnt very old as i got a new one in when i did my water pump which was only a few months ago so i think ill be right with those 2 things just the seal ill get looked at

if the timing belt has been getting coated in oil it might be worthwhile replacing it anyway.

rear main is probably a bigger job, well in my opinion anyway.

the sump has been known to leak around the front where you are talking about but if it is not bad i wouldnt wory about it

Mate if your going to all that trouble change the timing belt and have a speedy sleeve handy just in case, u dont want to be doing the job twice.
