Haven't ever gone as far as replacing seals on the Celica...
But I found an oil leak today coming from around the timing
belt somewhere...I figure I'll do the belt and water pump
while I'm at it...and replace all the seals while it's opened up.

On my list, I have -

Timing Cover Gasket
Timing Cover Seal
Water Pump Gasket
Timing Belt
Water Pump
Coolant.

Just replaced my thermostat and thermostat gasket so I'm good there.

Do I have everything covered? This is a pretty bad leak..I gotta get it
taken care of.

Thanks in advance, guys.

Might as well replace your front main and oil pump seals why you're in there.

there is nothing called the "front main", there's a rear main seal that's on the other side of the block.

the oil pump seal is sometimes called the front pump seal, the crankshaft seal is in front of the housing for the front pump seal and to do the front pump seal you need to remove the housing so you'd also need the housing gasket and some FIPG.

And there is only one camshaft seal. This is a 5S we're talking about Art, not a 3S wink.gif

those timing cover seals are not necessary at all.
