that sucks, I think I may have the dreaded timing cover oil leak going on

 

I haven't checked mine.

 

All still drivable issues .........maybe

 

Yep, and as far as I can tell I'm not losing huge amounts of oil, I just see some slight surface wetness around the timing cover

 

Just fix the issues as soon as you can ,prioritize and repair

 

Well, that'd be great if that issue didn't require pulling the engine to fix

 

I don't believe that is the case.

@dakotasyota did his timing cover not that long ago

 

AR15xAR10 i'm surprised you didn't take me up on my offer and brought your truck down to my work so we could've did your lift install while we were doing Chip's lift this past Sunday. I had a extra bay.

 

I have a bad steering wheel vibe that recently got worse.

Driver's side needle bearing is shot.

Still have to work out of the truck. Can't risk road tripping it when i need it for work.

 

I'm not up to date on all 2nd gen repairs but why in the hell would you need to pull engine for timing cover gasket seems like there would be other options

 

Idk why you would. Worst case pull the radiator if you need the room once the water pump was pulled.

 

See this is why I miss the days where a engine compartment was bigger than most of today's cars back seat ...

 

Swapped motors in my 1980 K10, sat on the radiator leg on each side of block to finish installing carb and distributor.

 

Really? Well, still need to find time since my truck is my daily and work is unforgiving about being late or calling out

 

Usually it is the crankshaft seal or maybe cam shaft seal. Had both leak on my Acura. I read many guys will replace those seals when replacing timing belt. If you go through that trouble to fix oil leak, replace timing belt and water pump.

 

The DCLB rock slider flanges look adorable next to the Tundra rock slider flanges. I thought the DCLB were big, these Tundra flanges are huge!

 

Water pump I'll probably do, but iirc the 1-GR-FE uses a timing chain that doesn't get replaced until the 400k mark

 

Right side drive R33 Skyline parked next to me at Royal Farms tonight, bad ass car and still beautiful styling even this many years later.

 

I'd love to have one in Midnight Purple

 

Yup. This one was black, black wheels with gunmetal lip. Mmmmmmmmmm
