Good morning all, we have an oil leak issue. I am fairly new to Toyota engines and I am having a hard time finding the possible leak.

It is near the serpentine belt area, and its a lot of oil. We took the car for a road trip to Tucson, Az from LA, CA and we ran out of a quart of oil in about 500 miles. Also everytime we come to a stop you can smell it in the cabin.

Yesterday I pressure washed that to find the leak but yet no luck. Where should I be looking?

Thanks

are you its oil? maybe its just a mix of water and oil... I think its just some of the excess water you put to prevent over heating.

 

What year and engine type, V6 or 4 cylinder?

Engage emergency brake and block the rear and drivers side tires to prevent car movement. Remove the front passenger tire.

With auto trans in Park or if manual trans in neutral gear start engine. Look for oil coming out from between the timing belt cover and block. Check the bottom and side closest to the firewall.
