- Well good news for him cause he thought it was much worse, turns out it's just an oil pressure sensor and he wanted me to do all the seals belts and water pump. So maybe we will still do belt job while we are here. But his big concern was the oil leak, and well has nothing to do with his timing cover, cam or crank seals. but yep where I show you is the oil pressure switch/sensor that works the light on the dash when the oil is low, had nasty leak, not hard to get at, you don't have to pull timing cover to get to it! it's there below your alternator basically before the cover, all you need is an il pressure socket to get on it and a ratchet to break it loose
EVERYONE ELSE on RUclips only show oil leaks related to the seals or gaskets in or around the camry's oil pump but YOU are the ONLY one to highlight a DIFFERENT possible source of all these oil leaks---THANK YOU!!! did u use genuine toyota part or go for the AutoZone limited LIFETIME WARRANTY switch? I went w/ genuine TYTA part b/c I find sensors can be off when made by non-manufacturer companies
Thank you for awesome comment, I ended up getting one from the zone but yeah your better off with oem part I never did share the part info, kinda forgot but I bet this is common vs other leaks and lot easier repair then what he thought it was
Hey! My highlander was loosing 1 quart every other day and the repair shop quoted me thousands of dollars to ( replace lower oil pan, reseal upper oil pan, replace valve cover gasket, timing belt and accessories replacement). I watched your video and found that the only cause of the fast leak was the faulty oil pressure sensor that they never found. I replaced it myself and cost $14 instead of $xxxx THANKS YOU MADE MY DAY
So awesome to hear and glad I posted video to help, sometimes and recent been not uploading but this makes me feel good to know I saved someone their money to get fixed
Dude thank you so much man 🙏🙏 I just got a new driveway and it wasn’t fing cheap. Recently out of nowhere my es 300 (same motor) had a small spill in my new driveway. Couldn’t find the leak ANYWHERE, watched this and popped that cover...yup. Oil pressure sensor, you’re a legend.
Man so awesome, been on the verge of bad depression but comments like this make me feel I have a reason to keep on trying, glad the video helped
@@RANS87IROCZ Man I know the feeling, we all have to stay STRONG. And no problem I just appreciate the time and you’re a lifesaver
Thanks for the video. This leak is common on this engine type. For my case, my 1999 Toyota Sienna. Cheers!
Your welcome and thanks for the comment
Hard to see with all the moving that's going on
Sweet I have a sienna BAM SAME LEAK
THANKS FROM CANADA 🇨🇦
@@patrickbrendaharris thanks bro appreciate ya, yeah and it's not that insane of job either
Thanks much for your video. I'm going to check my sensor to see if that's my leaker.
You welcome, be nice if it is your leak not real expensive to
Well same issue here same motor thought it may be the crank seal but now I need to pull that cover and hope this is the problem..
Actually I didn't notice till cover was off, but you can access it without removing cover, it's kinda in a hard to see location but lot less stress then doing crank seal
Be awesome if that's all it is and sensor should be 20 bucks average?
@@RANS87IROCZ yeah it's my G.F..car 260000 miles so I'm still not sure, to cold to work on it at the moment,Some garage her dad had her take it to quoted 1200 if it's the crank seal..which they don't know they just went by what we all thought it may be..so hope to figure this out on a warm day coming. 👍.
thanks for the vid gonna check if this is the oil leak on my 1mzfe
Was it ??
@@lexuses3942 yes it is, i still havent fixed it since my baby goes on and on, i just keep adding oil and good maintence, soon gonna buy a whole engine repair kit if something goes bad
@@luccianodfs6711 Thank you lol two years later and u respond. Well I’m doing mine immediately than, today
@@lexuses3942 yeah more than 2 years with that oil leak, nothing wrong is gonna happen if you check the oil frecuently or every long trip 😉
@@luccianodfs6711 For sure , I’m just add and got a new driveway lol expensive
Can i get this part at autozone or oreilys??? Or should it be only at lexus dealer
I have a leak maybe not quite as bad but in the same location / area I’ll have a look tomorrow morning
I thought the same as Dave
Man I hope its the sensor for ya, pretty easy fix
i have the same problem on an old avalon. how do you get the old sensor out???? theres no grooves for a socket?? but the new sensor is premade as a socket. No room for vise grip either unless i buy a 90 degree tool, but then it might just crack the connector off.
so wasn't on all week, did you get it? mine did have end to fit socket, was easy to get to for me being I ripped cover off going by customer word saying it needed a cam seal
I have the same leak, not as bad, but I bet that's where it's coming from. Thank you. Oh and not to complain too much, but you could consider editing your videos.
What's the part number for the oil pressure sensor
My god sweet baby jezzus...alll that ? all you needed is an inspection mirror and a flash light and you would find that leak in 30 seconds from top ! thats why i dont take my cars to professionals.
I ripped all that down because customer wanted all new seals regardless and as I tore it down I searched the leak out and shared for few reasons, one to show him it wasn't what he said it was
Any videos on a 2006 ? I can’t seem to locate it . Thank you
Unfortunately no, it could be similar? If same engine
Would this be the same oil pressure sensor on a 2jz... location...my leak is similar and I seen something on a thread about pressure releaf valve...kind confused about what part and location.. please help
I would say yes, not 100 but if it's puking oil check this sensor for sure
do you need a special tool to remove the oil pressure sensor or does it take a regular socket?
Sorry late reply, they make a socket for it but I have had regular sockets fit it, off hand can't remember size
Do you know the location of oil pressure sensor for 1999 camry V6 LE? Thanks!!
3.0l?, same spot as in this vid should be, you don't have take timing cover off he wanted me to do cam and crank seals but I checked and found that sensor leaking bad as seen in vid here, I did this to show him
RANS87IROCZ thank you bro!! Yes, its 3.0L. I will only use floor jack and jack stand. I think its hard to take it from the top. I will probably take out the tire and the plastic cover to access from the side. Good job bro!! You're an honest mechanic.. and helpful...
Salute!!
Are you familiar with 1999 Toyota sienna LE oil pressure sending unit please ?
possible, off hand can't remember, is it a 3.0l
common area for toyotas to leak.. got one myself on a 2008 corolla right from the switch.
Is that the 2jz engine?
Michael King it's the 1mz engine
Get a tripod.
