leaking oil

[cfiggs]

i have a 93 camry an it just pours oil on to the flex pipe at the end of the headers and my car constantly smokes were ever i drive i think its the rear main seal but not sure.. anybody have any other ideas?

Could be, but I'm going to take a guess and say that it might be your head gasket, but on the intake side. Seems to be a common problem with a lot of cars

very likely is the main seal~!
cox I went through the same trouble, I ended up swap a newer engine~! lol

without actually seeing where the leak is coming from, we are all just guessing. my guess is with a valve cover gasket or distributor o-ring.

oh wait, since you said headers (to be technical, in stock form they are exhaust manifolds), do you have a v6?

it could be your cover header cover gasket... look in the back when the engine cold...and try to touch with your hand if you see if there is oil around that area. it could be your distruuter O-ring....one way to check...check when the engine cold..get your hand around under neath the distrubutor to see ifi you have oil on you hand...

my 96 toyota camry leaks from there...and i smeal oil (burning) when i'm driving... i got both places fixed..now, no more smealing (burning).
