Toyota Repair: 1993 Camry Leak, crankshaft seal, pan gasket

Question
Hi Ted, I am hoping you can answer this. 4 cyl Japan made Camry with 126,000 miles. I have an oil leak that looks to be coming from between the block and they timing belt cover. I have changed the pan gasket, so that has been ruled out. What could this be and how is it repaired? This leak is a very fast drip when the engine is running. Just a driveway stainer when not. Thanks for your help.

Answer
The most common leaks in that area are the front crankshaft seal and the camshaft seal, if the timing belt has not been replaced recently I would recommend replacing the timing belt(it's due to be replaced at 120,000 miles) and all the oil seals and maybe the water pump as well.
