My 1996 Toyota Camry has an oil pump leak

If above the pump, it is usually the cam cover gasket in a Camry.

I would suggest a second opinion. It sounds kind of high.

IF YOU TIGHTEND ALL THE BOLT`S IT`S GOING TO BE A MAIN SEAL ETHER FRONT OR REAR THE FIRST`S PLACE I WOULD CHECK IS THE REAR; OIL WILL BE DRIPPING FROM THE FLY WHEEL COVER BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE!?

The timing cover itself does not seal any oil from leaking. It is just a cover to prevent debris from getting into the timing belt and ruining it.

To find the oil leak you will need to remove the timing cover and inspect the seals behind the cam gear, crank gear, and oil pump drive gear, and the oil pump to block seal. The most common leaks on these are the cam gear.

There is a ribbed rubber tube running from air cleaner to throttle body make sure it is tight and does not have any cracks.

if it leaks from the pan you could get a new gasket if it leaks from the block you need a new motor

It Could Be A Number of things

1 Fuel Pump > Check for Fuel Smell And Pump Noise
2 Timing Belt. If it Cranks Unusualy Fast or sounde as if it SKIPS While Cranking
3IGnition Modual & Coil Packs>> Check For Spark While Someones Cranking Engine Over

yes as is body rust too . fuel leaks are dangerous you should not drive the car untill repares are made .

I am going to see a mechanic - my trusted mechanic who does not nickel and dime me - to see what this is. I have the same problem and he told me he has never done this job on a Camry and is unsure. Given the miles, he has suggested that maybe it is time to part ways with the car. I am going to ask him if he will put some florescent dye in it and let me drive it for 50-100 mi and then check to see where the leak is and fix it. Let you know what happens. I have to try, the car is solid.

1.check your water pump

2.check if the engine oil light is offing in time or not,it is like the engiine oil is not being lifted in time by the oil pump,

3. what should do if is number 1 u have change the water pump and if it is number 2 then change the oil fillter drain the engine oil and replace with new one but this time around add oil treatment oil to the engine oil u change if it is sea 40
