Hello , my brother and I bought this car 2009 4 door 4cy Camry for our Mother . We were told by the previous owner that was the problem so we had it towed to our home . This vehicle has 128,000 miles and the interior is Immaculate ,also the body and undercarriage . We did notice on the drivers side bye the head along the block and down around the front suspension a lot of motor oil . I was told it's an aluminum block and head should replace motor or use Blue Devil head gasket sealer ? I sure would appreciate any of your expertise . Thank you very much and have a great day , AL
Hello, you should not do either thing - never use sealer, because there's just nothing good that will happen from doing that, ultimately. You can and will cause more damage instead of resolving concerns.
Blown head gaskets, as most describe them, consist of an internal engine coolant leak, not an external engine oil leak.
You really do need to have a hands on evaluation by a professional. Before you can rush to judgement on what the best course of action is to take, you need some expert hands on advice.
Wish we could help you here, but without the car and the ability to test it -- it's all guessing. I'd just say - don't do anything until you know what you're dealing with. You won't be able to "un-do" it!
