My '94 Camry 4 cyl. with 128,000 miles doesn't leak a drop of oil. I've been under the car, and wiped down the oil pan and transmission pan, plus when I sweep out the garage floor on weekends, there's no evidence of oil drops at all, but . . . doing my own mechanical work makes the cost a _lot_ more reasonable than having someone else do it - for example $12 to change the oil pan gasket, and apart from the rear main oil seal (hoping judicious and frequent oil changes plus Lucas will keep it alive a long, long time), every other seal that could possibly leak has been changed - and most were hardened and seeping very slightly: Distributor O-ring ($2?), valve cover gasket, PCV grommet (hardened and cracked), oil cap gasket, camshaft oil seal (precautionary only - was probably fine), oil pump oil seal and gasket (couple dollars in parts only), crankshaft oil seal (again under $10), timing cover gasket set (that one cost more but prior mechanic left one section off and remainder showed cracking), plus the aforementioned oil pan gasket, and transmission pan gasket (plus fix two stripped bolts courtesy of a prior mechanic). Power steering gets Lucas also, as preventative. So far, not a drop. I consider all those oil seals just a normal part of preventative maintenance. I like the car not to smell like burning oil after being driven hard and after doing all this maintenance work on the car, and running synthetics throughout, I do occasionally run it hard - but it runs exceptionally well. Yesterday, getting boxed up in traffic in the number four lane, pressed the accelerator to the floor, moved progressively into the number one lane, leaving congestion behind - seeking a nice open spot, glancing at the tachometer noticed it reading just over 6,000 RPM. That's why I run clean top quality oil, and keep all the fluids perfect - my little 4 cylinder "sleeper" moves extraordinarily well. I never trust placing extreme loads on the car until I've personally been all through it, hands on. Now if you're paying someone else to do all this work and spending thousands of dollars, may not be worth it. I suppose that's why people enter the cycle of continuous, lifelong lease or car payments with replacement every few years. As most everyone here knows, the Toyotas have the ability to break that cycle rather nicely.
