Hi Scotty...Have a 2008 Highlander Ltd./AWD 188k miles. Have the dreaded oil leak coming from the lower section of the timing cover. To get it resealed is a HUGE job (25hrs). My friend (Toyota Sr. Mech.) said have to drop the engine to reseal the timing cover. Since the cover isn't sealed with a gasket just the factory grey rtv type sealant, wondering if using re-seal 205 would help or any other engine oil leak fix? Last oil change it lost about 1/2 quart/5k miles. Don't really want to pull the engine to fix, or can I just keep driving it and keep an eye on the oil levels? Or should I sell it?
What about 103 FIPG seal packing? That's a Toyota goo-like substance that hardens into an oil resistant gasket in 15 minutes?
I can surely try it...Thanks for the alternative mention.
The big problem leaving it unattended is that oil would leak onto the drive belt and pulley. So, FIPG 103 is cheap. If you can seal it from the outside it's worth a try.
