Dammit, cars still leaking oil after replacing the baffle pan/oil pan gasket, RTV'ing the pan, and bending the baffle pan back. It seems to be leaking from the head however. I took off the cam gear cover and some oil was sliding down on the back of the cover behind the cam gear. Im thinking it's the cam seals but if anyone else has any input it would be GREATLY appreceated .
Oh and it's a 1986 Corolla GT-S completly stock never been touched engine so whatever would go out on a 4AG normally is prolly whats wrong Thanks again

 

i would replace the cam seals and while your in there new timing belt.. especially if its kinda oil soaked .. hell.. if your taking it apart that far.. do a crank seal and valve cover gaskets while you have it apart.. toyotas are famous for cam and crank seal leakage

newer 5sfe camrys its mandatory to change cam and crank seals when doing a timing belt

 

Umm...this wouldnt be a black coupe with 25Xk+ miles on it, would it? lol

As lunchbox said, theres a bunch of stuff you can replace while you are in there

Grab yourself some "the Right Stuff: Grey 'for imports'" from Permatex or "Ultra Copper" also from Permatex if you dont want to shell out cash for gaskets from the dealership. Equally as important is letting it cure and tightening everything down to specific manufacturer torque ratings

 

Alright cool. I'll be replacing the valve cover gaskets, cam seals, and crank seal sometime during the week and see how it is Thanks for the help. I dont have any permatext but I have some black RTV gasket maker, lmk if I can use that or if I sould use permatext instead

 

You might be fine using that. The best stuff is the newer stuff that usually isnt labeled "RTV" though.

Permatex lady dropped by school one day. I had no freakin idea thread locker/gasket maker etc. would be so fun and exciting

 

Damn looked a it today and was wondering how i am going to get to it without taking off the metal cover behind the cams and the cam gears/belt. So how do you get to it normally to change it? Thanks

 

I dont know about the 4A-GE but I have a space 7M head that has that metal sheild and its held on with like a few 10s or 12s..
