Re: 1996 camry 4 cylinder
Space is a little limited between the "front" of the engine and the passenger side fender, but a timing belt change isn't all that hard.
The oil is probably coming from one or more oil seals that can also be replaced while doing the timing belt. There are three: camshaft, crankshaft, and oil pump.
Some would also argue to replace the water pump with each timing belt change...I would say every other belt change. Finally, there is a belt tensioner and idle pulley inside. For 100k, I'd say they are okay unless you can hear a problem while spinning them with the belt removed.
Check the stickies at the top of the forum for the replacement procedure and tips.
Welcome to AF and good luck!
