I have a 2004 m/t corolla with 210,000 miles and it has a oil leak on the passenger side. Does anybody know what it could be.
Provide more details/pictures.
It is under the passenger side I first noticed it when I was changing the brake rotors, it is also not the valve cover and I have confirmed that it is oil. I was thinking the timing chain tensioner but there isn't much oil leaking from there.
Probably(and hopefully) only a valve cover gasket leaking, but it's best to get a leak dye test kit and find out for sure.
Why the down vote @plavy498 ? Just trying to help you out.
I was trying to vote good I am a new member how do I vote. I'm sorry I thought 3 was the highest
Is it the button on the side of the message?
Yes, the up arrow is a an up vote and a down arrow is a down vote. (You downvoted mine as well, but no big deal.)
Ok thanks for the info.
It's all good!
The up arrow is an up vote = good
The down arrow is a down vote = bad
I have another question the car also makes a semi-rapid on off humming noise when driving upwards of 50 mph. I am pretty sure it's not the bearings and is coming from the rear of the car.
Check those bearings more carefully, that's a classic symptom of the initial stages of wheel bearing failure.
Ok I will check them.
