1994 5SFE Crankshaft Seal - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I replaced the timing belt along with the water pump, oil pump seals and front crankshaft seal in my 1994 Camry. The crankshaft had a groove worn in it and now it leaks with the new seal. I am looking for a speedy sleeve but have not been able to find one. Any ideas?
Thanks

I think I'm going thru the same thing with my '95. I've replaced the valve cover gasket, the cam, oil pump, & crank seals, the oil pump rotor set & o-ring gasket, and noticed the crank was grooved at that time, too. Since I'm still getting some oil leakage on the garage floor

, I'm thinking it's either the crank seal or the oil pan

...I never thought to see if there was some kind of sleeve kit available to cover up the grooved crank.

I just completed all the same repairs to my 1996... though not as bad, it's still leaking. I added some UV dye to the engine oil and found that a leak exists behind the oil pump housing where it mates to the block.

Another leak has mysteriously appeared at the other end of the motor in the vicinity of a rear main. It's definitely not coming from the valve cover or from the cam seal behin the distributor. I'm beginning to wonder if it is the oil pan causing the leak in multiply locations. Though I'm certain that teh pump body gasket is gone because of the pretty neon green dye streaming out. Since adding the dye, I can't get it to leak back out of the pan. Extremely frustrating!

How many seals do you have on this engine?

Is this what you were looking for?

I think GYJOE got it. Try rockauto.com under "timing cover repair sleeve". But verify with the manufacturer's catalog.

I wonder why this one is so cheap ($4.85 relative to ~$28 for the other two). Must be the wrong one I guess:
