common leaks in SC300's?
Did a visual inspection of my '92 the other day. The area around the front of the tranny appears to be slightly wet. Upon closer inspection, it looks like engine oil NOT tranny fluid. There appears to be a very slight oil leak. Nothing significant enough to even show evidence on the floor underneath the car. It just seems to leak onto the tranny cover and gets burned off.
Is this common among older, higher mileage SC300's? Is it the head gasket or the valve cover gasket that is usually the problem?
TIA!

valve cover de-installation
quik,
thanx for the quick reply...
What does it take to take the valve cover off? Do I need to take off the intake manifold and throttlebody assembly?

If you've got a leak near the front of the transmission, it is almost certainly the rear main seal.. best to live with it, unless it is pouring out substantially. Pretty rare for the cam cover gaskets to leak on these cars, but you could easily look along the upper back of the engine block to see if it is wet and oily also.
