That silver cylinder bolted to the side of the block just aft of the oil filter- What the hell is that thing??! Looked in my haynes- no luck.. advance auto- dunno.. asked the toyota stealership.. they must have skipped that class...

Im thinking its a cassette filter, since theres 2 lines coming off it, and it is leaking oil like none other.. Im tired of adding oil so much, and cleaning oil from everywhere, so i wanna new one!

Sorry, I dont have a pic of it- its dark now, maby tomorrow

So- if you know what that thing is, please, let me know.. if not, ill let you know soon enough..

 

3.0? Need to know the motor, but I'm assuming 3.0 since there isn't one on the 22re.

 

Okay. If it is, it's the oil cooler. They are known to leak sometimes.

 

yeah, 3.slo- sry.. its a '93 too.
An Oil Cooler?? That should be part of my radiator, but it does have 2 lines attached to it, which could go to the oil cooler... not sure about that one, I think Ill just have to rip it off when I change oil..
What else could it be??

Sounds like the oil cooler, the 2 hoses are for coolant. There is an O-ring behind it that gets brittle with age and leaks. The good news is the O-ring is cheap, the bad news is it can be a pita to replace.

 

ok, I believe you now.
thats a weird way to cool oil tho..
