Hi all!
I have a 'super awesome '97 2-door RAV4 manual 5-speed.
BACKSTORY
It was using a bit of oil, so i took it in and first they resealed valve cover. There was never a drip spot on the drive.
It was still using oil, so i took it back in and they changed seals on distributor and oil pan.
Less than a week and it is now LEAKING oil. Parked overnight and there is about an 8-inch diameter oil patch ?
I took it back today, and they are resealing the oil pan as we speak.
My mechanic said that he cleaned it all off and let the engine run while i waited (which was about an hour), and there were no leaks. But as soon as he turned the engine off, oil started to drip from the engine. Any ideas what it could be. He thinks either the glue he used didn't set and it is the oil pan again, OR, it's the rear main seal. Any comments, ideas, suggestions???
Thanks!
