either valve cover gasket or front main seal. Either way, not super cheap.

It could come from alot of places.. Did u clean the timing belt or is it new? That's kind of hard without being there in person. Maybe, u should take pics from about 2-ft. instead of 5-in. away. Just keep in mind that when your driving the oil is going too run(fly) everywhere. Maybe u should clean(wash) all the oil up. Then u might be able to narrow it down. Hope that help! GL

i already did that and had my timing belt change recently and i cleaned everything now its wet again so i hope someone in here can narrow it down for me thanks

engine bay: -front main seal (should have done at same time as timing belt) -Valve Cover Seal Diff: -diff cover, and input shaft seal. |

my responses are the most likely culprits.

Radiator out covers off remove cambelt replace crank seal and cam seals should have been done same time as water pump and cambelt replacment Info to change cambelt and crank seal can be found here http://www.turbosupras.com/pdfs/JZA8...20(2JZ-GE).pdf |
Agreed.. I had this same issue when I changed the crank pulley and did not have a good seal. Thought it was something else like a cam seal but it was not...get a new timing belt too...

I have a 01' GS430 and has a semi-common rear differential front pinion seal leak. I had one on my 00' 400, and and so did my friends, however he now has a 430, which doesn't. I used to work at Toy/Lex, it's more common than people thing. As far as the engine leak, I would Guess it's a Cam/Crank seal, but I don't have a 2J, so I'm no expert there.
