my 1uz sc400 is leaking from the front main seal, steering rack, upper & lower oil pan
Total is around 3.3k to fix it (including parts and labor)
i was also quoted for a used engine if I didn't want to use this engine a total of 3.6k
both route is similar in cost but I'm not sure if I want to keep the engine that is in there or just put a used one.
the current 1uz only has 50k miles on it (2nd engine), the used engine would be around 25k
which route would be a better route?
thanks and kudos for helping

Ummm can you tell me how it is that your current motor only has 50K on it & its leaking from all those places???? Did you inspect this yourself or did someone tell you this. Cause Im calling BS. My motor had 175K & didnt leak a drop, hell even when I spun a rod bearing.

These engines do not act up this way till they get very very high in mileage.
If you want my opinion, find a better price to repair your current motor if it still runs well.
To swap again is another roll of the dice and is never cheap.
