it is not your oil pump, as your oil pump is internal, it could be the oil pan gasket or the oil filter, try getting under the vehicle with a torch & having a good look to see where the leak is,when you know exactly where it is leaking you may be able to solve the problem, firstly determine if it is engine oil or transmission oil or power steering oil ETC.......hope this helps.....cheers.
Oil filter on a 2000 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner with 6 cylinder IS a screw on filter located on the drivers side front of the engine (just beneath the alternator).
Can't recall the size but, you need a socket with extension to get to the bolts holding the skid pan then, wiggle/lift it from it's hooks. Then, you can either cuss, cuss, cuss while removing the old and installing the new OR, jack the drivers side up 4 to 6 inches ( gives you a bit more wiggle room and keeps you from scraping your elbow to the bone on whatever surface you're working on).
Even then, be ready for a good cussing bout because there still isn't much room.
It may be the rear engine seal where the tranny shaft sticks into the engine. I am assuming it is a standard shift of course. Please be kind with the thumbs up rating. I am only guessing and can't see the leak area. Thanks, Raz
There is a gasket supplied when you buy the transmission filter for all transmissions that your vehicle would have came with. You don't want to be using that stuff on a transmission pan, as a replacement for a gasket. I would wonder if the filter was changed?
It is NOT the blower.
The problem is in the dashboard A/C blower switch. The switch is connected to a tri-resistor (3 resistor coils) which will vary the motor speed. Cost is about $10.
If you want to repair it yourself, you should purchase a repair book for your car at any ayto supply store ($30) or go to the reference department in your local Library (you have a card, right?)
You cannot check out a reference book, but you can photocopy the necessary pages (10 cents, maybe a quarter).
The repair procedure is not too difficult.
Total cost: $12.60 (including copies) or $45.
The oil filter may have been over torqued and the rubber gasket has jumped it's seat on the oil filter. Spray down the oil filter mount and engine and look to see where the oil is seeping through the filter when the engine is running. Best thing to do is replace the oil filter. Good luck and hope this helps.
There is not enough flow at the sensor for a second oil filter. The sensor is at a dead end in the oil gallery. I recommend that you persue other options here. If you are concerned about oil contamination, don't be. There is nothing better than the factory filter...Look into adding more oil capacity; Look into an engine oil cooler; there is really no need for a second filter.
