Oil leak on my 2jz

[Nghty89]

Anyone with any information on strange oil leaks from the intake side at the front of the motor, please let me know if you have had this problem before. I may be missing a piece, but without knowing any 2jz guys, Im lost...

Please check the latest posts in my build thread for details. Link is in my sig.

If it's higher up, I'd suggest it could be power steering fluid. There is an o-ring that seals the suction fitting to the pump (hose from the reservoir goes to it). It is common for this to leak.

I'd suggest cleaning the engine off, and trying to find where the leak is.

After you clean it, add some UV dye to the oil and PS and run for a day. Shining a UV light on the engine (needs to be dark outside) will point straight at it.
