can you post some close-up pics so we can see what exactly is leaking, where?

The user means that either the o-ring or gasket is leaking on the back of the water pump housing. I am pretty sure that the water pump with housing has to come off.

 

It is quite difficult to get enough movement out of the bypass pipes to replace the O-ring and gasket. There are coolant lines going to the oil cooler and rubber lines on the transmission side. It's doable, but you do risk disturbing the flexible lines which may be an issue depending on their condition.

Here's a pic that shows clearly what you're dealing with.

 

I notice that your engine has the same bypass water pipes that mounts a heat shield for the two oil cooler water bypass hoses I’m looking for that part it mounts on 2 studs with two 10 mm nuts Could you please tell me the correct name of that part and maybe the part number

 

I have the same problem in my 2001 Camry (posted in another thread).
Any possible fix for this problem would be very appreciated

 

Zombie thread back to life.

I realize this hasn't been touched in over a year, but I'm having a problem with my bypass pipe seals.
I was able to get them off and replace the O-ring and metal gasket with new dealer gaskets, but it is still leaking pretty bad, should I pull it apart again and see if there is crud in there, or am I missing a step in getting it sealed? I am about ready to use RTV and seal the crap out of it for good... thoughts?
I only replaced the two seals and the old O-ring looks like it was possibly bigger, or maybe coated with something that made it thicker?
I just want to get this back on the road again....

Is it very rusty like in the photo from the post before yours? You might want to check and see if the sealing surface is corroded. That could be the cause of the leak. The sealing surface should be clean and even. Normally, you don't need any RTV with the dealer o-ring and gasket. They should seal fine as long as the mating surface is clean.

 

Partially off topic, but I had no idea there was an oil cooler on the 5S... powered by coolant!

 

Here's two 1992 VINs

First one Canada market made in Japan 2nd U.S. market made in Kentucky.

 

Thank you for the vin numbers I’m trying to find a right tip stick tube originally the tip stick I bought from the dealer was a 96 camry one this is before I found out the engine was switch to a 92 5SFE engine end result the new dip stick showed too much oil in the block. When I was in a pick and pull salvage I notice a dip stick from a 95 Camry that looked longer and curved to the left that looked that it would solve the problem but I could not get it out of the block next time I go there I'll bring a propane torch to heat the block to hopefully remove it.

 

The salvage yards where I am will not let customers in with a torch. Or do you plan to use a pen torch and sneak it in?

 

Dipstick tube
11452-74070
Dipstick
15301-74070

Will run you about $50 for both something to consider. Tube can be stupid hard to remove it's difficult to get leverage in the right place.

 

ThankYou for these part number.If possible I'm looking for the one tube that curses to the left in the block so the exhaust manifold won't be too close to it.

 

I think I already have the new dip stick and the tube number seems to curve to the left Found it on Toyotapartsdeal.com for 14.52 I'll call the dealership tomorrow to check their price and go from there.ThankYou again.Today I had to drill a hole thru the passenger wheel well to drill and tap the bottom alternator bracket bolt broken off in there that I wanted original It took me about a hour to get thru I used a 3/8 inch electric drill first then went to a 1/2 inch drill with a 7/8 countersink bit then a pencil grinder to widen the hole to 1 inch and smooth other obstacles down then used a 13/16 inch hog bit to go thru the other side of the frame 2 inches deep tomorrow I'll going to use a ten inch bit 3/8 inch in diameter to find center in broken bolt half then drill a pilot hole then measure the mm size bolt and pitch then buy the right drill and tap to do the work and install the bolt I already bought at the dealer.

 

Drop whatever VIN you want parts for into this site look up all the parts you want

There should be a serial number on the block that the dealer should be able to match to the donor car's VIN number to look up parts for that engine.

 

ThankYou very much for that information I have already took a picture of that I'll call the dealership tomorrow Jeff83.
