hi, thanks for your time and input. purschased car new in 95 at about 160,000 the main seal started leaving a few drops in the garage. i took it to my friends transmission shop where he installed a oem rear seal. about a 60 days later it started leaking again with a couple drops and now noticed a consumption of oil. we put it on the lift last night and removed inspection cover and started the car in nuetral after about 5 min. a spot about the size of a fist. any suggestions/history? we did remove oil fill cap and no abnormal blowby or pressure. thanks

Sorry we haven't been of much help here. I don't think anyone here has experienced the same problem.

I think a Haynes manual will help you figure out where those seals are. Buy the one for the 1992-96 Camry because its got the same V6 engine as you have. in that manual, you will find detailed diagrams of the engine's internals.
