Toyota Corolla Timing Chain Tensioner Oil Leak Repair Guide

The timing chain tensioner on our 2005 Toyota Corolla S starting seeping out oil recently. I did some research and apparently it's a common problem on all the ninth generation Corollas (2003, 2004, 2005,

2006, 2007, & 2008) equipped with the 1ZZ-FE 1.8L I4 engine.

I bought the new part and some RTV silicone sealant to fix the problem. I took pictures of the process and created a quick guide to help out other owners with the same problem.

Here's the guide -

I hope someone finds it to be useful.
