Toyota Repair: 1998 Toyota Camry 4 cylinder, power door locks, crankshaft seal

Question
My 1998 camry just started to leak oil from the passenger front side just about a foot in from the passenger side front tire. I have 170,000 miles on the car. I also change the oil every 3,000 miles.

Also my dome light burnt out and at the same time that happned my clock went out and my power door locks stopped working unless the car is running.

Any advice on what could be causing these problems would greatly be appreciated. I plan on keeping the car until at least 200,000 to 250,000 miles since I have not had any trouble with this car until now.

Thank you.


Answer
Oil leaks are hard to diagnose without seeing the car, the most common would be a leak from the front crankshaft seal under the timing cover or the oil pan.
Check the 30Amp power fuse located in the fuse panel under the cover on the left lower part of the dash. While in there check the dome fuse and the cig lighter fuses.
