Had my RAV in for the 140,000 km service today. Everything's great apart from the brakes needing new pads and shoes (which i already knew) and a new problem that i've never heard of on the forums. The O ring seal in the dissy is leaking oil. It's a slow leak so it's not an urgent repair but i will get it done soon. My mechanic showed me the oil stains on the part of the engine just below the dissy. This, coupled with the blue puff of smoke on start up would explain where my oil is going in between services.
Total damage should be about $100 just to get the leak fixed. Might as well get the dissy rotor and cap replaced and toss out the OEM 5mm spark plug leads for a set of Bosch 7mm ones while we're at it. Anyone had this dissy oil leak before?
