Typical Timing Chain Tensioner Oil Leak

[@TheBikerboy86]

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.

[@BunnyBobbyBear]

He has an older video showing replacement of the tensioner, that could be a good reference. Link below kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2bCY6ihn76Ig6c

[@rickg882]

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.

[@rickg882]

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

I love to hear that

[@susanh171]

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

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

[@Brian-lw4su]

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

[@mscir]

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

[@ToyotaMaintenance]

Wow, thanks!

[@sebhac0123]

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

[@michaelyoung24]

what does he call the seal at 1:46 ? Ha Ha Peter, I love your channel. I have a 2005 Tacoma (330,000 miles), 2008 Corolla CE (174,000) and a 2011 Tacoma. (240,000) Absolutely love Toyota!!!

[@koomo801]

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!

[@FredTheLutinoCocatiel]

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

[@alexgtza]

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

[@rightlanehog3151]

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

[@michaelbrennan7148]

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

[@igotJesus88]

Hi. Love your channel!!

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

[@markreynolds3850]

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

[@pedrofernandez8729]

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

[@on-site4094]

Add at205 reseal when changing oil

[@pedrofernandez8729]

@@on-site4094 Tried it, did not work.

[@LAactor]

@@pedrofernandez8729 now you have to use maxlife for about two to three oil change intervals. Or one year whichever is longer. Slow but will rejuvenate the old seal. Conventional can dry/eat it out if oil changes were neglected

[@freethink3r]

Thank you very much for this content!!!

[@45AMT]

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.

[@davidg5704]

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

[@RazorbackGrasshopper]

Put a bit of clean engine oil on it, and make EXTRA sure you don't pinch the O ring.

[@TheExactlyatmidnight]

I sealed mine with rtv and been solid for 8 years now, just put it around the bottom and spread it a little out I think I put some around the o'ring too on the bottom side

[@LAactor]

might have crushed the oring on install

[@vegaf2011]

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 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@jeffcarpenter8000]

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

[@olivero-j1r]

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

[@richardm.441]

How much would your estimate be to fix this leak?

[@gratzbuck9882]

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

[@schutzhund3933]

Not showing many repairs lately

[@29madmangaud29]

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!!!!!

[@sukheeyi]

Always enjoy your vids

[@Ed-fy1xq]

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!

[@TheMechanicj]

Gotta unbolt thevmounts raise it up with Jack the bolt will come out easy but extra works

[@ninezerofive]

can you make a video of how to change this ?

[@rayemanuel7460]

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

[@FredTheLutinoCocatiel]

I have a 1999 Toyota Corolla LE I had to put new tires on not because they were bald but whether checked

[@LAactor]

This owner could not afford it. Said no to flush and deferred atf spill and fill until next oci

[@rondhole]

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

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

[@benjibumble]

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

[@ask43242flight]

Can you seal from outside with rtv?

[@thomast7896]

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

[@Sakrich]

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

[@gilbertoquinones4214]

I did couple months ago. I bought the part at the Toyota Dealership didn’t expended more than $40. Labor did it myself, pretty easy.

[@ChrisVargasrpht2000chris]

Good video

[@Duraputer]

Yes yes very goot 🙃

[@paulparoma]

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?

[@ToyotaMaintenance]

small problem, cheap to repair, what about subaru boxer engines failing headgaskets one after another, and repair is $3300... I see it at my shop every day

[@paulparoma]

@@ToyotaMaintenance Oh, forget Subaru. I can't stand them.
