95 Sc300 Oil gasket/seal under Upper Timing Cover
Does Anybody know the toyota serial number of a gasket or seal, it sits or covers around the oil spout where your oil cap twist on.
It sits under the the upper timing cover (the one with Lexus logo). Been searching even lexus parts can't identify. All gaskets found are for middle or back when changing timing belt and replacing other timing covers
On one diagram shows 9090480006 Genuine Toyota GROMMET 90904-80006 . . . "but keeps telling me its not for 1995 Lexus SC300"

That grommet looks about right. I've never seen it sold separately though. Usually that's part of the timing cover of the 2JZ-GE non-VVTI motor.
Just so you know, it's purely a cosmetic piece. It does not prevent spilled oil from the oil cap from running into the spark plug valley or down the side of the motor on the intake side.
Just in case you didn't know, if your oil cap gasket is leaking, you can replace it. Toyota designed these oil caps to use replaceable gaskets and most dealerships keep them in stock.

You're probably obsoletely right!
When I removed the timing cover #3 (six allen bolts) the rubber seal or gasket surrounding the oil spout it was completely brittle falling apart & got destroyed upon touching it.
Is it for" its only purpose" for the timing cover to sit firmly around the oil spout & oil cap? Since they don't sell the timing cover if it comes with seal, Would be no problem just to use any gasket seal of same thickness.
I do not have any oil caps leaks but it is the original oil cap since 1995.
The Orange/yellow seal goes under cover.

Yes it's just a cosmetic thing so if you want to make something for that area, it won't hurt anything. That area gets really hot so make sure whatever you use can hold up to extreme heat. And if it has adhesive, make sure that can withstand high heat as well
