Whos vehicle on here leaks oil? How much? What Motor?

My 82 22r didn't leak it very bad until I changed the oil. Well the Drain Plug is shot now, that with the leaking rear main means after a 2 hr drive I went out and found 4-5 spots the size of a silver dollar.

 

My 4runner has a small leak at the rear main. It's the 22r-e. Not real bad, and I'm hoping it can wait till it's time to replace the clutch. Bad news is, the PO put a new clutch in shortly before I bought it. What dummy doesn't replace the rear main when they pull the transmission? I recently replaced the valve cover gasket, oil pump seal, and front crankshaft seal; I had really hoped that would take care of my leak, but the other day I had oil dripping out of the little boot near the slave cylinder in the bellhousing.

 

My '94 3VZE leaks out of the rear main a little and around the oil pan. I like to think of it as a rust prevention measure .

It doesn't drip that much, only 5 or 10 drops a day, but I've made a nice dark spot on the driveway. I burn more than I leak I think.

yea..my yota used to spray oil allll over the passenger side front tire..on the inside...BAD front main...but turns out...it wasnt only that...im not sure what else...maybe water pump seal..(im guessing here..it hasnt run enough it a long time to know)....replaced head gasket...oil pan gasket...(which was terrible)...didnt do the rear main yet...that reminds me..i need to have oreileys order a rear main for me....it doesnt leak much now...i used to drip about a 6in to 8in spot of oil on the concrete after about an hours worth of muddin and drivin..then lettin it sit and cool down..for like...45 mins..yea..it leaked that much in that length of time...it still drinks the oil....damn 20R

 

Mine leaks a little bit. I will see a drip of oil underneath it every once in awhile.

 

mine leaks out of the rear main, not enough to notice tho just can see it on the seal. does grease count, my front passenger side cv leaks, and back drivers side axle seal leaks

 

when I did my clutch on the 4runner 3.0 I replaced my rear main and removed the oil pan and put new silicone on it and then I replaced my valve cover gaskets it was dry for about 2 months then the passenger cam seal started to leak oil at that point I gave up and add oil when needed witch is not very often.

on the pickup 22r It leaks a little from the oil pump and rear valve cover that will be fixed soon when I replace the timing chain and water pump I think I will also remove the oil pan and replace the silicone on it and I have a new valve cover gasket to do at the same time.

 

My rear main's leaking, coupled with a little burning oil on my 22RE

 

Mine leaks about a quarter size every time I park it somewhere. It leaks and then eventually stops.

Yesterday I was starting up my truck and felt a rough idle, and checked and damnit, I was a quart low! I am only into my oil change 400 miles and I was down a quart of oil.

I ran Castrol High Mileage 10w30...
Last time I put Lucas' Oil Stabalizer and NO LEAKS, or burnoff for almost 2,000 miles. I am really contemplating putting that stuff back in...

Question for you guys. Does anyone know a good product to put in my oil to help stop the leaks that isn't thick like Lucas and maybe a little safer?

Can I just add Lucas when I am low (I know you put it in for a quart of oil) can I just put it in whenever I get low again???

 

Mine is leaking oil from the passenger side valve cover. Gaskets are shot(im almost positive). So bought some new gaskets, so waiting till this weekend to put them on, hope it completely solves the problem.

 

i dont think mine leaks motor oil (3VZE), but definitely power steering fluid from the steering shaft input. I have to fill it up from empty almost every week.

 

mine was leaking as well a buddy of mine gave me a bottle of ATF stop leak I used a quarter of the bottle and it has almost stopped leaking also used it in my house mates Isuzu's power steering and it stopped leaking for him as well.

 

Mine leaks; 3.0 - leaks from the passenger side cam cover gasket at the very least, but I can't tell if it's leaking anywhere else until I get that fixed & wipe it off. Might be leaking from another spot or two.

As far as how much; I never really paid that much attention. I'd guess about a quart to a quart & a half every 4,000 - 4,500 miles.
