1996 Camry 5S-FE Turbo Install

Day 9

Well it happened...the leaks started! First I started seeing oil on the floor. Then after a day or two coolant was spotted. I hate leaks!!!!!

After talking to Bob about this, we had a handful of ideas, but agreed the best thing to do was to go buy a leak detector kit to determine exactly where the oil and coolant are coming from. We planned on washing the engine first, so we needed to wait for a warm, dry day.

In the meantime, I watched the oil leak. It sure seemed to be coming from the area of the T used to supply oil to the turbo and oil pressure switch. After contacting Ray at Burien, I found out that they found a supplier to have the threads match (metric to metric) the opening in the head. Once I got the new T from Ray, I installed it. Guess what: No more oil leak!!!! I was very happy.
