Camry :: Antifreeze Leakage In 2003 LE 4 Cylinder
I've noticed a leak of antifreeze in my 2003 Camry LE 4 cylinder and did some investigating to find its source. I did. What I don't know (because I can't really get to it to remove and replace it) is its part number or even a descriptive name.
I've attached a photo. It's directly to the drivers side of the valve cover/engine block.
Camry :: 02 - Smoke On Start Up - Leakage On Passenger Side Of Car Underneath The Engine
My girlfriends Camry (111K) just recently started leaking a dime size oil drip on the passenger side of the car underneath the engine. Every start up there's a decent size billow of blue/white smoke. Only thing visible under hood is the valve cover lower left size has a tiny bit of oil run down.
I read another thread similar to my issue and it sounds like valve stem seals leaking and burning? Could this be related to the leak in the driveway? What needs to be done and how serious is the billow of smoke?
Passat (B5) :: Oil Or Antifreeze / Coolant Leaking Underneath - Loss In Power
So, I have a 2003 Passat Wagon GLS with a 1.8T and 110600 miles on it...
Here is my dilemma... I try and change my oil every 4.5 to 5 months and the passat has been running like a champ, but recently noticed the car was beginning to sound like a diesel engine and we were starting to go through the coolant..
Throughout this entire time my gas mileage seemed to have improved and I never noticed any oil or antifreeze/coolant leaking underneath, and it wasn't until recent that we noticed a loss in power.
My wife had checked the oil and noticed a yellowish/rust-like junk on the dipstick, as well as the dipstick not registering any oil... We also noticed the turbo was whistling during hill climbs.
We still have about two months until a required oil change is needed, but when it comes to mileage we surpassed it.
Suburban :: 2001 Denali - Engine Oil And Antifreeze Leakage
I got a 2001 Denali with the 6.0l. It seems to be leaking engine oil to the rear of the oil pan on both sides. It has residue where the oil cooler lines are at, by the drain plug, under the bell housing and around the starter. Also, I noticed there was some antifreeze on the right side axle towards the right front of the motor. I can't see any signs of the water pump or thermostat leaking. Where either of these could be leaking from?

We just sold our 04 Supercrew that was rusting out from underneath itself. I was unsure of what to get next until I drove this 2012 F140 XLT supercrew with the ecoboost. It is in fantastic shape and drive great. It does have 90k on its odometer and I wasn't sure if that should be of any real concern.
It was a one owner trade in and you would never tell the mileage by looking at it. I averaged 5k miles per year for the 5 years I owned my 04 so I don't drive real far. I also tow a 20' ultra lite camper which may get upgraded to a 24' ultra lite in a few years.
I just didn't know if I should be concerned about the high mileage with my driving habits and not driving very much. Do these motors have any maintenance issues? Everything I've read seems to be good....
This story really piqued my interest : [URL] ......

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: 2011 - Rusty Knuckles Underneath
Ok, so I have a brand new 2011 F150 SCrew EB direct from the factory. It's about a week or so old and I have almost 700 miles on it. It is garaged all the time while at home...
So I was looking under the front end just checking things out...getting to "know" my new truck (which by the way I love) and everything looks new and great underneath...nice new painted surfaces...metal etc until I see...the knuckles behind each of the front wheels are starting to rust. I'm assuming these are cast iron but why would they not paint these?!
I mean, everything else is painted and looks great but then you see the rusting knuckles underneath?? AM I missing something here...is this normal? For all of you who own the same truck, have you seen the same thing?
Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: Water Coming In From Underneath The Truck
I got my Peragon installed today and after looking at it, I'm more worried about water coming in from underneath the truck than the cover. I could see several places where the floor meets the sides where there is daylight. Is road spray something I need to worry about there? Do I need to seal it up tight or leave it alone?
View 3 RepliesCamry :: 2007 SE - Oil Underneath Car Coming From Transmission
I need identifying parts or the problem to fix this leak! I see oil underneath my car coming from the transmission. Someone told me I need to replace the seal but don't know where to start. Transmission slips when it was low on oil but once I topped it off again it ran way smoother. Bought the oil from the dealership but can't afford to get it replaced there.
I want to repair this problem before it get worst. I have 200k mileages and never any tranny problem until now.

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: AC On And Water Coming Out From Underneath Dashboard On Passenger Side
So today I'm out running errands. Its hot and the ac is on. I notice water is coming out from underneath the dashboard on the passenger side. I pull the floor mat and water is everywhere. Soaked!! Ok so the ac water that's supposed to drip outside and underneath the car is now dripping inside the car. I pull off all the plastic crap, glove box to see if I can tell where its coming from. Not seeing it. Also some crap must have gotten wet because my check engine light is on along with a flashing vsr off light.
View 6 RepliesFord F-150 (2009-2014) :: Leakage From The Sirius Antenna?
Noticed when I jumped in my truck during todays monsoon we had here in Colorado springs that there was water coming out of the screw cover for the bar on the passenger side. Is this leakage from the Sirius Antenna? Never had this happen and it looked like it was getting roof liner wet too. At first I thought it was from when I jumped in and water got there but after wiping it off I noticed the water kept coming and the roof liner wet spot spread. If it is the infamous antenna leak how has it been fixed?
View 8 RepliesCamry :: 1MZ-FE Oil Leakage Around Filter Seal?
I have had a 2002 Camry with the 3.0 V6 (1MZ-FE) for a few months, and just changed the oil for the first time. I'm no stranger to oil changes, having done them myself for many years on a variety of cars. Never had a problem with it before. But no matter what I do I cannot get the filter on the Camry to seat right and seal. It leaks from the driver's side of the filter and drips straight down onto the exhaust (and smells just lovely). The leak is such that before I realized what was happening, the car was leaving a quart a week on the ground.
I've tried a couple different filters, thinking I maybe had some defective ones with a bad seal. But I get exactly the same results with both OEM Denso filters (the blue ones) and factory ones from a Toyota dealer.
I am quite sure that I did not leave the old filter gasket on the engine before putting the new filter on. The only thing I can think of is that maybe I am consistently overtightening the filter. I've never had a car that was fussy about that before, so I'm usually pretty casual about it---just follow the rule of "turn it by hand until you feel the gasket hit the block, then give it a turn with the wrench." But the filter on this car is so hard to reach from below that I was pretty much doing it by feel. (I only just discovered that you can do it from above if you remove the upper shield from around the exhaust manifold---that was how I got a clear enough view of that side of the block to be sure where the oil was coming out.)
Camry :: Trunk Water Leakage
I have had my Camry for 9 months and unfortunately didnt know that water was going inside my trunk every time it rained, the car was washed, or snow melted! I took it to the dealer to have it looked at only to find out the trunk body seal needed to be replaced. I have had cars over 10 years and water in the trunk was never an issue.
This is my first Camry and I must admit I am not satisfied with the purchase. I hope my experience gets better.
Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Toyota 2011 - Water Leakage Into Car
Clear water comes into car my Corolla 2011 on drivers side and both the passenger and drivers rear floor panels. I checked and not coming from the body. Think it's from A/C but it's a lot of water. Front passenger side is bone dry. Looks like it may be coming from the center console and spreading out. Could the A/C evaporator drain be plugged. If so where do I find the hose?
View 11 RepliesCorolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Loss Of Coolant - No Sign Of Leakage
I have a loss of coolant, and I can smell it as I drive. I looked under the car today every hose is dry to the cooling system, so I thought look where the heater core is, everything is dry there too. No sign of Head gasket leak either. I just can still smell it, and still losing some but it is very little. What should I look for next?
View 2 RepliesCamry :: Antifreeze Is Not Coming Properly
Just changed the anti-freeze in wife's 2004 Camry with the 4 cylinder engine. Was expecting about 8 quarts to drain out based on vehicle specs, but only got slightly over 4 quarts. Must have done something wrong, so, who knows will read this and set me straight for subsequent anti-freeze changes.
What I did was to loosen the inside screw on the engine drain bolt located at the front, bottom, center of the engine, plus remove the lower radiator hose (left bottom of radiator when standing in front and looking toward engine), plus remove the radiator drain screw (right bottom of radiator). I did this with front of car on ramps.
I'm wondering about whether this left the old anti-freeze in the heater core, perhaps because of the front being on ramps?

1999 Toyota Camry 2.2L V4 automatic 112,000 miles
Last week I checked my transmission fluid and it was very low. I added fluid and checked it the next day and it was low again. I noticed trans fluid on the front of the pan so i went out and bought a new trans filter and a new trans pan gasket and replaced them, sealed and bolted the trans pan back properly, and added the fluid. I thought that this would fix the leak but I see that the pan is still leaking from the front of it.
Camry :: Coolant Leakage After Engine Shut Off
Ave an 02 Camry 4 Cly
Noticed small puddle of coolant under the car - then noticed overflow empty and radiator a little low on fluid. Noted some coolant below the thermostat.
After filling back to proper levels, ran engine for a while with no apparent leaking. Took a couple of short trips and inspected after each trip and no leaking noticed.
Checked several hours later and noted coolant below thermostat housing and on ground. After a couple more trip noted coolant level dropping again.
What would cause fluid to leak after engine shut down? Could be coming from another location, but my attention is on the thermostat at present.
