    So my 2000 Prerunner has almost 190k on it and sometime last year about march/ april I noticed a leak coming from the passenger side of the vehicle

    Thought it was the timing chain cover but I have since ruled that out......I am 99% sure that it is the oil pump cover seal or the front crank seal

    Below are pictures of the oil pump cover oily and clean (notice the little drops already showing back up only 1 day after degreasing and washing the area and driving 15 miles each way to work and back)

    What is everyones thoughts? There is no oil above this point and no oil leaking on the drivers side of engine (it is clean)

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Snug the bolt down a little bit....and pray.
