Hey I have a 94 SC300 and since I picked it up it's had a somewhat steady oil leak coming from that side of the engine as well as the valve covers. I just fixed the valve covers thinking that was the bulk of the issue but oh man was I wrong. The side of the block is covered in oil still and its a nice steady leak while the car is running. Anyone have any ideas is it a gasket or oil cooler hosiery I will try and take some pictures I really don't want to fix it as I'm going the 1J route soon. Anyhelp or points in the right direction would be great I searched around and only found a few that were oil filter leaks and that's not my issue.

Dumb suggestion, tighten the oil filter? Also, take the oil filter off and make sure there's not an o-ring left from the previous filter stuck on the housing. Unless I am wrong reading where it is leaking. If it is pouring out I would clean and dry the area as best I can, then look for the highest fresh wet spot.

behind oil filter bracket is a o ring .. they go bad and drip oil .. remove the assembly and you will see the o ring , i bet its as hard as plastic as opposed to rubber

That's what I'm coming to conclusion on, It just looks like a real pain the the a** to get to under the intake manifold, I pulled the filter and checked for old o ring ect ect already and it's not that so it must be the o ring underneath. Thanks guess I'll get to work on that.
