2GR-FE (V6) 2007 Camry - Oil Leak, Not VVT-i Hose... Any Ideas?
Hey All -
My new to me, 2007 Camry seems to have developed a healthy oil leak from
somewhere. Initially I thought it was the power steering pump leaking since
oil was dripping from there but it doesn't appear to be that and the oil was
not red (which the power steering fluid is red,ATF) - moving higher up on the
engine I suspected the rear infamous VVT-i line - which has metal and a
small section of rubber. But the rubber looks dry - so I don't think it's that.
I removed the engine beauty cover - and it's quite wet in the "valley" of the
engine near the injectors. It's also very wet on the passenger side control
arm. I've already done valve cover gaskets on both sides, and replaced the
metal copper banjo bolt gaskets so not sure what to do next.
My suspicion was that the serpentine belt and airflow slings the oil over the
top of the engine area but maybe that's not the case?
Any other common areas to check?
Here's a few images of the area near the injectors in the "valley":
