so where is SR motorcars?

jgdynamics, its loosing oil and coolant but not all the time. I'm also running a tad rich.

coolant leak: most likely you just need to replace hoses and clamps.
loosing oil: check distributor o-ring, valve cover gasket, cam seals, and front & rear maine seals. worst case is leak through FIPG at oil pan, bad valve stem seals, or piston rings.

cant say for sure without more specific info. save yourself the $$$ and DIY

oh yea, im pretty sure running rich is normal for a 2jz

I did the rear main seal not too long ago and the distributor seems fine. I think it may be the valve cover gasket. How would I know if its the valve stem seal?

I wanted to take it somewhere to get a diagnostic.

valve stem seals usually would give u smoke out the tail pipe...

I dont get blue smoke but I sometimes get white smoke while warming up my car.

i leak a lot of oil too. its coming down from the crossmember. my buddy said its probably a oil pan gasket. im going to have my uncles shop look at it but thats family so its free.as far as i know people around OC really dig dynamics in westminster. was going to go there for myself. but i will go in to get some wiring harness under the fender resolder and rewire because i have no turn signals, no climate controll function, no windshield wipers, no horn. keep us updated wherever you go.
