Typical Timing Chain Tensioner Oil Leak

What city is your shop located in?

Thank you once again for a fantastic video. Something very basic can always fail. Keep up the good work and the good videos!

TRUMP 2020

I installed new Toyota tensioner and oring but it still leaks slightly. What's the trick to this repair?

Peter, I had the same minor issue on my 2005 1ZZ-FE engine when it was around 13 years old.

“I’m doing my best” ....... and there is no doubting that Peter. Be well, friend!

can you make a video of how to change this ?

Great video! Would love to see how to change out the control arm on the driver side (Need to do this on 2008 Scion XB). It seems one of the bolts doesn't clear due to the transmission oil pan.

Thank you!

Both my Corollas had oil leaks coming from the main bearing seal, expensive labor to replace a $15 gasket.

You might also want to tell the owner that they need new tires.

Great video. It’s nice to see common Toyota issues and where they’re located at. But it would be nice to see the repair being done as well.

Up north here tiny oil leak can stop the bottom of the car from rusting from the salt on the road stay well my friend

I need a driver side inner tie rod end video thank you stay safe

Thanks for sharing this video, great information provided. Nice job.

Nice video! I just changed my timing chain tensioner 2 weeks ago on my 08 Corolla CE with your video as reference. Thank you

Good video

Not showing many repairs lately

Ok good

Always enjoy your vids

Hi Peter. Thank you for posting. Very helpful and informative. Rock on !

Show us you fixing it !

Hello from Tennessee, will a check engine light go on for low power steering fluid? 98 Toyota tacoma in great condition. Thanks

Peter THANKS SO MUCH! I've just bought my Mrs. the older model than this,,,,, but it may be the same> Let me go check > RIGHT NOW><>>>> thanks so much for this INFO!!!!!

Hi Peter, will you make a video on how to change that part. (Timing chain tensioner). Thank you for all the great videos

Yeah - more Corolla action?
👍

That one looks easy compared to the Camry 2.4 2AZ engine. That tensioner is crammed in the back because the engine mounting is tilted.

You have made consistently the best mechanics videos I've seen on YT. Well done.

How much is the fix for this including labour? I have the exact same issue on my Japanese model 1ZR-FE corolla.

I swear your intro brings joy to my soul every single time .

So what about that "great Toyota quality" if that leak is typical? Seems to me there is really nothing "quality" about it. Or is any defect on a Toyota a sign of "quality", whereas any other make's defect is a sign of lack thereof?

Wow....I JUST saw the exact same leak on my sister-in-law’s 2010 Corolla (same trim level and color, too...weird).
Also!..Thanks for keeping your videos short when possible and not stretching them out to 10 min for no reason!

Once again we see the diagnosis, but not the cure ! ☹

Berry interrrestink but shtoopid. But it works! Keep em coming friend!

Car safety inspector near me said I needed new power steering pump. Flat out lie. Leak was clearly from tensioner.

Do you see these two nuts? Lol. I couldn't help but laugh.

This is a great video, it help me find the leak on my corolla.

Thank you very much sir. I have the same issue in my Prius 2015, it uses the same engines and looks so similar. Do you have any tips how to unhook the tensioner in hybrid? I am not sure it has the crankshaft pulleys over there. But I think I can pull it from the harmonic balancer pulley

Thank you

So freaking crazy. A few weeks back I saw your transmission oil change and I noticed the car you were working had the same small oil leak on the back of the engine. I was just about to go back and look for that video since you brought up the leak but didn't go into to much and wouldn't you know it searched up hoping to find a good video and BAM! your video was recommended so I'm super happy. Thanks for the amazing work keep it up definitely subbing 🔥🔥🔥. I forgot to ask would you recommend I replace the rubber seal? Or is there a way to somewhat permanently seal it to stop future leaks. How do you properly clean the tensioner and what type of fluid do i lubricate it please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

The dealer told me my timing cover is leaking and it will cost $3,000 to repair, after cleaning myself and watching videos like this I R&R my tensioner, to soon to tell yet if it stopped the leak, but thanks for keeping us informed.

MAYBE IT HELPS IF YOU SHOW US HOW TO FIX IT

I need an appointment where do I call ?

Thank you very much for this content!!!

Can you seal from outside with rtv?

I am also having this issue on my 09 corolla. Does anyone know what I could expect to pay for this at a shop? Thank you

how comes is hard for me to install my new chain tentioner

Can it start leaking a lot more and cause dripping of oil to the ground after parking? Thank you

How much would your estimate be to fix this leak?

Thank you so much!!! I'm looking at this 3 years after you made this video and it's really helpful!
