Oil pan is a good place to start. Usually those gaskets go bad after a while. Then a good idea is to get two cans of engine degreaser and a hose and go wild. then wipe the engine clean with a rag then you can clearly see whats going on. I degrease my eingine every spring after the slush season. Good luck.

What about the underside???? where the leak will most likely be. degrease the underside and make it spotless. For sure the leak will uncover itself.

will do, I just hope its not the rear main bearing seal. If I had the money I would just buy this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TOYOT...10159076QQrdZ1
