SKperformance Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 You need to clean the area where the the metal crush washer goes othewise it will keep cutting the alumiunum washer and keep leaking. So buy a new oem toyota washer and clean all 4 surfaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
