Oil Leak, Were is it? Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

I've got a 94 GT with the 2.2 liter. I've got an oil leak somewere on the passanger side of the engine. I've replaced the gasket around the cam, and the value cover gasket. I know this is a normal problem for the 2.2's. My uncle said he has a lady coming in the shop with week with a Camry that is showing a leak somewere around the same place. My question is, has anyone found out what this is that leaks? I can replace gaskets one after the other, but it'd be nice to know what's there. I'm going to put some dye in it so I can see the leak under a black light. So if no one can tell me were it's at, I'll be back to post and tell everyone else were it's at. If this is as common as I think it is, everyone should know.

Also. I know there's something that always breaks on the ingition system that's commonly misdiagnoesed on these 2.2's. I'll ask my uncle what that is. If the modderates won't put up a Common Problems forum, I'll try to start my own.

Yep, it's probably the oil pump seal. Its an odd shaped rubber gasket that costs about 8 bucks. But to change it you have to take off the oil pump, timing belt and everything.
As long as you are planning to do it anyway go for changing the timing belt, gaskets and and two rollers (or however they are called correctly). That way you will save on labor and will not have to do it again for the next 60k miles

I already changed that stuff last time I was in there. I never changed the oil pump seal, I don't know why. I'll get to it this weekend, or sometime soon. Thanks for all the help everybody.
