Hi guys, Ive got a 1990 2.8D hilux and the other day oil started pouring out of the engine in underneath the air - con just wondering if anyone has had this happen to them before as i cant find the source of the leak. The vehicle has done 350000k's so i was expecting a rebuild at some stage but was hoping/wondering if this was less serious?
any info would be great, cheers

turbo non turbo etc?
do you mean under the ac compressor?
check oil lines as mentioned, also check to see if its coming out from the timing belt cover as it could be a cam or crank seal.
more than likely its a split hose on a return line.
Have seen an old oil line split on the oil return from the turbo before - but you can see where the oil it coming from then as it goes zoom
