OK, new here. Was tinkering with the new addition to the family. 1985 Toyota Pickup, 22R. While chasing a idle problem I decided to remove the AC comp and hoses cause I aint fixin em and they are in the way. So I decide to remove the bracket holding the compressor. I pulled a bolt from the front of the bracket and it has oil all over it, I know right away this aint good. After replacing the bolts and scrapping the idea of removing the bracket I now have an oil leak. Does anyone know how much fun I am fixing to have? ie.. am I fixin to pull the oil pump housing and regasket or what?

 

Personally, I'd just remove the bracket, clean out the hole really good with brake cleaner, and install a shorter bolt with some Permatex gasket maker on the threads and around the base of the head. The distributor hold down bolt on mine leaks coolant whenever I take it out, so this is how I fixed it. Been leak free for a long time now.
