I recently bought a 2001 GS300, just wondering if there was a common spot where the 2jz-ge engine leaks from. I looked and no sign coming from the valve cover and oil pan. Only thing i noticed was it was coming from the timing belt cover gasket, the front plastic cover for the timing belt. Is there actually free floating oil in there?? Last time it checked it was a dry system. So if anyone who had this same problem could help with where exactly it might be it would be much appreciated.

Thanx guys, yeah i just bought the car like a week and a half ago and noticed that front cover was leaking engine has 140+K on it so it probably needs all major maint. on it. But thanx for making the leak easier to find.

I had the same problem with mine, once you pull everything out to do the timing belt, you should change all the gaskets too. My leak came from the crank seal. It's only a few extra bucks for the seals so deff replaced them all since you'll be in there already.
