Sorry so big, forgot to resize. This is my new 'seo I just bought. These are my findings. O2 Sensor hard wired behind the cat. CEL codes: PO135, PO141. Is this causing one of them? How do I test it?

First off your O2 sensor seems ok, but you never know. To test it u need to unplug it, and test it with a VOLTMETER. U must check its resitsnace in OHMs or something like that. Your car manual must have a description of it and the numbers. The fact that it looks "home repaired" is ok, usualy REplacement O2 sensors dont come with a plug, because they are universal, u need to splice it onto ur existing wiring. So thats ok
As far as your oilleak, i think u might be leaking from the OILPAN or behind the timing belt oill seal. But id check the Oilpan gasket as it seems to be comming from down LOW. And if u had any oil with timing belt, it would eventualy snap or come off. If not reparied. My "guess" is its the Crankshaft seal, behind the Harmonic balancer (That big wheel with 2 belts on it). Possibly OIL PUMP, which operates off that shaft as well.
U seem to have GREEN on ur AC thingey. Thats Coolant i think, u might also have a radiator or coolant hose LEAK! Check ur hoses! Ur exhaust pipe looks old, might consider replacement
The compressor it self i dont think has any oil to leak. My ac doesnt work so im not sure how to fix it, mine is also covered with OIL all over. I had a Cam shaft oilseal leak, from the timing belt side
Basicly any oil will move around and get tossed all over, regular belts will withstand the oil for a bit, then they will desintegrate and rip. I heard timing belt cant take it, when i replaced mine i streched it preaty damn hard, so it has quite a bit of tension, so if any oil i think it might break. Im not even sure ur leak goes that high up, because if it was inside the TIMING BELT COVER, ur whole cover would be covered in oil, top to bottom, the timing belt would toss around the oil.
Looks like a small leak on the OILPAN, it looks minor, i have that too, it doesnt loose much oil. Im gonna second that its probly from oil pan.

Laugh? LOL You must be kiddiing. You have a nice looking engine!
Nice looking head, doesnt look like mine but im guessing u have a different engine 3E, it looks a bit different.
IT looks like some OIL on the HEAD? hmm but it looks dry? Is it dry? U might have a leak up top if its wet. U can check for leaks with some time. Buy some sort of degreaser, Oven cleaner, brake cleaner? Basicly anything to clean ur engine, clean it up, and run it. If you have an active leak, u should be able to see where its comming from after that. Thats probly cheapest way to check, my mechanic wanted to do that. Any taking stuff appart check will requre u to get a new gasket for this and that, and end up costing u money.
YOu even have a high performace air filter, i want to install one too, but on ur car its installed wrong a bit, from what i know you should try to get COLD air from the front of the engine to the filter. but urs is behind the battery. I know my tercel has NO space inside the enginebay for that filter too. Just u might be loosing some Horse power cuz of warm air.
Car looks sweet though. bit dusty, but thats good. Means no one messed with it.
Ur leak does NOT look serious, i wouldnt even bother doing anything untill u hear or see larger ammounts of oil. Just add oil is my suggestion. I loose around 1/4 a Quart of oil per few days, so thats normal for an old car. I think i aslo have "somesort of leak"

Yep, looks like ull have to either take out engine, or drop it down so u can access the timing. Best bet would be to take it out, clean it up, buy a FULL Gasket set, and replace all stuff down there. U gonna need to rent harmonic balancer -crankshaft Pulley , i highly recommend it. Its eazier to work on the engine if its out. Looks like you have a paved yard thats even better. I worked on whole car on GRAVEL, not FUN!
If u gonna ovehaul engine, i would replace Valve seals, and everything else. I dunno bout 3e, but 3ee is a STRECH bolt engine, so u I needed to buy replacment head bolts when i put head back togeather, its quite eazy all u need is a torque wrench and the gaskets.

OK the AC system has oil in it and from the looks of it some leak detector dye. This could explain SOME of your mess.
The oil on the pass side of the engine looks like from the oil pump/crank seal or the cam seal. These can all be fixxed with the engine in the car. Maybe a little tight though.
Oil by tranny....Rear main seal I'm afraid unless the valve cover is leaking somewhere above.
O2 sensor is OK wired up like that. The butt connectors are doing the same job as a plug, just not as pretty LOL. IF the O2 is bad though then it needs replacing. Once you get your manual in double check to see if its wired up correctly, this could also be throwing a code.
Push comes to shove the PaP here in BR has some 5th gen Tercs, nabbing a 2nd gen 5E would be easy and cost little.
EDIT: Browns here in Denham has some 5th gens as well but they can be pricey.

In reference to the Intake, I want it gone. Much rather a stock intake until I can research some other options. For now, everything stays as is til friday. It goes in for the window to be installed.What an ordeal that has been!
I asked the guy at work, said the a/c has been ice cold since he had it. It blew cold the ONE time I have driven it. I did have to replace the fan switch, car started to run hot an fans were not coming on unless a/c was on. Fixed!

There might be a wiring problem then. The my ac doesnt work at all but when it did, it blew cold air too, AC has to be recharged and has NO AIR inside it, and be full of freon, but not too much, So they usualy vacume it and then fill it with freon gas. If u run it empty or low u can kill the AC. I dont have money to fix mine but maybe u do. Its hot as hell lol
