Oil Leakage On Lexus Is200 - Is It The Timing Belt? [pictures]

[idam_cuco]

Hi everybody,

I have a 2002, 2.0L Lexus IS200 and I noticed oil leakage on the outside of the engine and I think it is the timing belt set.
I will post some pictures (click on the thumbnails to see full image) and if anybody knows what could the problem be, please, please let me know.

Thank you in advance.

Mines the same wash it off would not worry about that amount of oil

Just clean up round that area then drive for a few days then check to see if the oil is coming from the bottom or the top next to the sensor if it's coming from next to the sensor in the pic then it's the sensor that's leaking as that's the camshaft timing oil control valve and there's a o ring that could be worn inside just unplug it remove one bolt then slow pull the sensor out and have a rag to plug the hole to stop oil coming out while you clean or replace the o ring then refit.
