6G Celicas Forums

I think that's for different applications. Later today I'll take a look at mine, and see if I have one as well (I'm sure that I do though).

much appreciated man

All I can tell you is that, that piece isn't on my '97 engine, I checked when I was in the garage earlier taking out my ebrake

craaaap...

what is this thing?? O.o

something your car does not have, don't worry about it. distributor O-ring looks like its leaking but not 3 quarts worth. Replace the O-ring and then clean the engine down with a few cans of brake cleaner to get it dried up and see if its leaking anywhere else. Valve cover is another common leak on these as can be the rear main seal or oil pan gaskets...hell anything with this age/miles.

If you want help I'm willing to lend a hand if you don't mind rolling down here some weekend.

bitter, when are you moving back here?

luke..i asked some teachers and they said they didnt have a clue, they said it shouldnt have lost that many quarts so fast.

good idea, and I'll let you know if things go horribly, horribly wrong and I need help haha. Who knows maybe I'll be swapping in a new 5s if things like this keep happening to my car.




thanks for asking Skyler, I guess its just gonna remain one of those unsolved mysteries because the oil hasn't dropped a single mm in the last week.

moving back where? I've always lived south of Chicago

oooh never mind..srry i was thinking of someone else hahah sorry!

just use the force, luke

I did check my engine today, and to let you know I've (and probably every other 5S owner) has the same "mystery" hole with threads. And mine is dry.

There's a lot of you guys from Chicago! Why have I not seen any of you driving around? LoL

thanks for checking, its probably for something that camry's need.

How about a meet and greet sometime soon? It's been a while since the XRunner has been out. As long as it's dry I'm good

I'm way far south of the city, past I-80...and I don't drive a 6th gen.

quick update,

after I discovered my horribly low oil level, I topped it off with 3 quarts of mobile 1 10-30 until I could figure out what was wrong with the engine. I drove the celi like this for about a week before giving it a proper oil change just now. Fortunately the oil that came out didn't have any silver swirls in it. There wasn't anything stuck to the drain plug either, but I'm not sure if its even magnetized. Tomorrow I'm going to cut open my K&N oil filter to see if there were any large bits of metal stuck in there. So far it looks like I dodged a bullet (again)

Thanks for all the input guys.

That's not that far, I'm I55 and route 83 pretty much. And I usually drive my Tacoma.

I'm just north of Monee and West of Crete.
Black 7th Gen or light metallic blue Mazda 626.

LOL, you call Willowbrook south? Dude...I'm not even in Cook County.
