Well I have a 86 4 runner 4x4, and i am getting a little more knowledge with the work on my 90 toyota 4x4 both 22R-E,s... So i firgured what the hey I will crawl under the 4 runner and see where the oils leaks are coming from... So i clean it all up.. with simple green and a pressure washer and take it home and try to make it leak... I let it idle for oh bout 20 mins.. no drips no leaks... So i abjusted the throttle up thinking i was not getting enough oil presure to cause a leak... Still nothing.. SO i was happy right.. Well then noticed gear oil coming outta of the tranny.. Well i was happy to find out it was a lose drain plug.. so i snugged her up (the drain plug is now a her i guess).. And i filled it back up with 80-90 gear oil.. And i thought i was done... Then i noticed.. hmm i have a lose tranny blot.. So i tighten that up.. And as i did so.. i thought to myself gosh.. what else didnt the machanic do when he put in the new motor. ( i got the 2 runner with a new motor... got to keep the old one too to play with and tear apart.. good way to start for a nob like me..) So looked more at the tranny blots and I have heard stories of "the terrible 2 top tranny blots" (instert scary music for effect.. oh come on be a sport its more fun that way) .. So i thought i would reach a hand up there see if they where lose.. well yea they are more then lose they are GONE!! like never installed gone... So i was woundering if anyone knew where i could pick up more tranny blots easy.. all the wrecking yards i called dont want to part out blots they want to sell the tranny.. I believe i have the correct specs on the blots i just wanted to see if anyone knew where i could get them on line.. And the other blots too.. I only have the stiffener blots and the starter blots, and 2 of the blots on the side of the tranny.. ugh damn ppl doing shit half ass.. i hate half ass work.. so i wanna make it right..
Oh and the other moral to the story took the runner for a drive and it leaks.. out of the front main and as an added bouns out of the rear main or the pan... it doesnt seem bad now i just check my oil every other day and it goes thur bout a quart and a half per oil change.. subject to getting worse.. between what it burns and drips..
so what insite do you all have on this subject.. sorry if this is a little wordy and unclear.. I tend to rant a little when its late and i am pissed..
