I have a 93 4Runner 3VZE with a nasty oil leak coming from the
passenger side front of the engine. While running, the oil pours from
under the cover just above the water pump.

This started after replacing o-rings on the injectors so I feel I may
have a vacuumn line misplaced.

Therefore, can anyone tell me what would be leaking that much oil under
that cover? Also, can anyone help me with hose routing on the passenger
side. A close up picture with light would be great. I really need
placement of lines coming from power steering pump to intake as well as
air control valves coming from wheel well.

Any help would be appreciated as wife just "loves" the oil spot in the
driveway!

Thanks, Tim

consider checking the oil cooler, I have a 94 runner v6 and mine went. the
oil came out fast when the engine was running.

Check to see if your vehicle is covered under the recall of these
engines. I got mine replaced for next to nothing when it developed an
oil leak. Seems the head gaskets are faulty. You may get lucky!
