Be sure to read this thread, and perhaps some others, before you start the job.

Wow, those pictures made my day.

He is correct, it should be cleaner than a dinner plate inside the timing belt area. Looks like either one or all 4 seals are leaking bad. 2 cam seals, 1 crank seal and an oil pump drive shaft seal. One or all of those are leaking and causing your problem.

And you better replace the timing belt tensioner and tensioner spring when you replace the timing belt and oil seals. Tensioner is a dealer only item and is $150.

I got my tensioner (#13505-42020) thru a company called World Pac. 1-800-888-9982 x-5470

That # sure looks like a Toyota part # to me. They probably buy from Toyota for resale.

List $107.29...wholesale $32.55 (what I paid). You should pay somewhere between.

I don't know if they sell to the public, but many parts stores buy from them. So...you can probably can get the parts local, overnight.

I bought the spring from Toyota. List $9.06...wholesale $7.26

I'd rather buy a Toyota genuine part than a cheap knock-off. Especially an item such as a timing belt tensioner. I don't plan on going back into my timing belt area for a long, long time. I was gonna buy a greddy timing belt and never go back in there ever again but that costed more than the tensioner. And a genuine Toyota timing belt is only 30 bucks!! You really can't beat that.
