probably just a crankshaft seal, fairly common toyota problem, how would a crankshaft leak oil ??
check the oil cap for milky white substances, may just be where its been sitting and condensation has formed, try cleaning it up and see if it returns
get the seal changed
get the oil changed
give the coolant a hose through and some new coolant
might just be a cheaper option of swapping the engine :)
Hi Bazza
Thanks for the prompt response, my bad should have said crankshaft seal, it was not milky white under the oil radiator cap after driving from London and then parked it for a day or two and then drove it to the garage and then it was milky white. Any idea how much to fix the seal and is it a big job? As for swapping the engine, what roughly is the setback for a job like this?
You see, labour wise, I have been quoted roughly 150-250 quid for labour but purchase of the engine is a something I have not come across. I have been checking ebay for engines but none so far, any other places?
Thanks
