Hi Scotty, I got a 2001 Toyota Camry with a 2.2L engine with 200,000 miles. I bought this in the summer. I did an oil change in the beginning of the month with Castro’s GTX high mileage and I noticed I was leaking oil. I asked a buddy of mine and he said that the oil was cleaning the sludge from my engine which was the reason for the oil leaking. Prior to the oil change I didn’t notice any leaks. Is it possible I would have to change some gaskets or seals?
where is it leaking?
From where I’ve seen the most oil, it looks like the valve cover gasket. But I’m not 100% sure I added some UV dye today so I can run it with my black light so I can verify that it is the valve cover. What seems strange to me, the previous owner said he changed the Valve cover gasket on may.
He probably slapped it together to sell the car and did a half-ass job.
