Default Oil Leak 1997 Camry
Can anyone tell me what the most common source of an oil leak would be for my 1997 2.4 L engine. My initial inspection tells me that it is coming from the passenger side of the engine.

First guess would be valve cover gasket.In your place, I'd start by looking there.

It is more than likley a combination of the front engine seals ( cam, crank, oil pump seal, and oil pump o-ring). All of these require the t-belt to come off. If the leak is in the middle of the vehicle it would be the valve cover gasket.
