Re: Widebody Camry oil leak

Rear main oil seals going on widebodys are pretty common. There are two things you can do. Pay someone to do it for you or if you dont mind getting a bit dirty you can do it yourself. The motor doesnt need to come out. If you are tricky you can undo the gearbox from the motor and leave it sitting on the subframe inside the passenger wheel well or the easier way is to brace the motor and drop the whole subframe. Sounds like a big job but its only about 8-10 17mm and 19mm bolts. The last time i did one at work it was about 3 hours labour ($75 an hour) and the price of the seal. I've also done one of these in my driveway so it can be done without a hoist. Hope this helps.
