Toyota Repair: Oil leak, valve cover gasket, crankshaft seal

Question
Hello:
My camry 95, 2.2 l, AT, has a small oil leak (about  0.4 liter/ 5000 km). It looks like it could be leaking at the back of the valve cover, or either the camshaft or crankshaft seal. In case is either the camshaft or crankshaft at seal, is there any problem to wait until next time belt replacement (in about 50K km more). Thanks.


Answer
I would wait until the timing belt has to be replaced again since it is a small leak, it would not make sense to replace the seals without replacing the timing belt so I would recommend keeping track of the leak and if there is no large increase just wait and have the timing belt and all the seals replaced along with the valve cover gasket, if the volume of the leak increases I suggest that you have it done before the due date.
