WOOHOO finally!
So I got a new crank seal in the yota and the oil leak is gone! Took me a lil while to get the timing set considering I was lining up the bottom Crank gear wrong, worked first time when I did it correct. Now all I need to do is get me some new tags and I'll be ready to ride. Can you believe a Toyota specialist across the street wanted to charge me $800. I paid 11 dollars for the seal to fix the problem.

Congrats!!! I too had an oil leak a while back, it was the one in the oil pump, and the local "experts" wanted several hundred dollars to fix it. Heck all it cost me was a seal, a little speedy sleave thing to eliminate the groove, the gasket for between the oil pump and the block and about an hour of my time.

I could so be a Toyota mechanic............
