Re: engine oil leak

Have you looked in timing belt area? cam seal may also be leaking, coming out at lower pulley.

spray the engine with a bit of solovent, take it for a quick spin, then check. if its loosing oil that fast, and you don't got blue smoke, its coming from the crank case area, like tercel GTS said in a way. but remember, its not always the compilcated crap...check the oil filter seal, might not be tight enough. oil pan seal, and blahbity blah. it may be a crack in the block, but i doubt it. but if you wana know for sure, go buy some oil dye cubes and a blue light, put the cubes in your oil, run it a bit and check the engine with the blue light. any oil that leaked will show neon green under the light.
