Most Common Leaks for a MKIII?????

Most common leaks are between cylinders 4 and 5
In your case its probably power steering, but the best way to figure it out is to check your fluid levels and see whats dropping. Then we will have something to work with.

The difference between a Supra and a bucket?
The bucket doesn't leak..
These cars leak everywhere when not properly maintained.
Targa leaks, rear hatch leaks, power steering leaks, oil leaks at the valve covers, oil leak at the CPS, coolant leaks near the rear of the head, coolant leaks when you blow your HG, etc etc...

Bwahaha... beat me to it man. Was gonna say, "is it a 7m? Then everything. Is it a JZ? Probably still a bit of everything.". Even a well maintained car can leak a bit here and there, I'm going to be doing my best to make sure my next shell doesn't have ANY leaks. We shall see how successful I am by this time next year I would think...RazoE;1780956 said:

Good luck man. It can be done, but you're going to be replacing a lot of seals, and spending a lot of time pulling things apart and putting them back together. I think the number of leaks on a Supra directly reflects how (crazy), errr... dedicated you are to your car.
THe only leak I had on my 88 GE winter beater was power steering. Make a shitty black sludge on everything. I just got the driftmotion high pressure power steering line and replaced that and its been leak free since.
well i guess im lucky then cause i have no rust in the spare tire compartment and i absoulutley dedicated to my car ands im definately going to make sure ensure there are no more leaks, even if i have to pulled everything out..ill do whatever it takes and get this car the level i want to be, which is showroom condition, so far everything is stock not to mention ive only swapped to a stock 1J.
You don't need to check everywhere. Just pull out the rear seats and the inside body panels beside the rear seats, and look at the seam on the inside rear fender well. If it's going to be rusty, it always seems to start there.puerto;1781063 said:
