Toyota Repair: Toyota Paseo, valve cover gasket, crank sensor


Question
My girlfriends car is leaking oil. just wondering if you knew of any common problems with these cars . Im not sure where the leak is coming from. its a 1994 Toyota Paseo. Also im replacing the rear struts because they are shot. Should i just replace all four like with tires or just as needed.

Answer
Matthew,

When they get higher miles they can leak in 5 different places, front of engine oil and or crank sensor, valve cover gasket, distributor o-ring, or oil sender unit. After you've driven the car
when you go back home immediately place some large cardboard under the
car, check it an hour later and let me know exactly where the location its dripping, then I can pinpoint it.
