Leak problems.
I have a 89 sr5 4x4 4cyl 2.4l and it has an engine leak... big suprise, anyway it was leaking really bad out of the rocker arm cover so i replaced that gasket and it slowed it down concideribaly (or however you spell that). but its still leaking a little bit and i cant tell where its coming from, any 1 had that problem, or who knows how to fix it?
thanks.

like said above, and i would also get some good degreaser or cleaner (purple power is my choice) and spray her down real good let it do its thing for a couple min then power wash or rinse away, that way you might be able to pin point the leak a lil better, plus it just looks good

thanks, but i allready did all of that, so i'm thinkin its probably the head gasket, and if thats the case i think ill probably just check the oil often and dump some in when needed

yeah, so i just gave it a spit shine and i still cant tell where the leak is coming from... well at least that means its a slow leak, anyway is there a certian gasket at the front of the motor that normally leaks? (by front i mean nearest the radiator).
