What is leaking???

Its a prerunner and looks pretty simple to fix that. Just drain unbolt and replace right? Thanks for all the help!

 

this pertains if your talking about your oil pan.

yea. if its anything like my old Toyota was, (and im almost sure it is)
there is no gasket, you must go to Toyota and ask for "Toyota fipg" the parts guy will probably cock his head and blink at you, ask again, and then one more time before he goes and gets it.

if your a permatex fan, you could probably use that, in whatever color is designed for oil-pans and such. I had great luck with the Toyota stuff on my old pickup.

im really thinking its rear crank after your latest pics. run your hand across the back of the heads as far down as you can just to be super sure the leaks not coming from up there somewhere.

 

Reviving this old post as my truck has the exact same looking leak. Wondering OP if your still around what had to be replaced and how bad of a job it was. My leaks so minor right now im not worried but something ill need to keep an eye on. Thanks!

 

I just fixed this very same problem about two months ago.
My leak was the Rear Main Seal. It took about 8 to 10 hours labor with the necessary tools .
I did it in my garage by myself. Having the right tools will help tremendously.
wobble sockets, 1/2 inch extensions at least 35 to 40 inches long to get the transmission bolts and others.
Take your time and bag/label bolts etc.

Unfortunately for me, I missed one of the top transmission bolts and broke the bell housing when trying to pull the transmission out.
Luckily, a junk yard in CA had one and shipped it out in a couple of days.
I did use the toyota seal and now its nice and dry under the transmission.

I also found it to be a pain to keep the Torque Converter in place while trying to lift the transmission back up under the truck.

Good luck with this.
