My 1995 toyota Tercel Has an oil leak Leak. Is there anything I can do myself before I take it to a mechanic?

I noticed my toyota tercel has been leaking a little bit oil when it is parked. Is there anything I can do to fix it before I take it to a mechanic. I am on a limited budget so if I want to try anything I can to fix it myself first. Any help is appreciated on this.My 1995 toyota Tercel Has an oil leak Leak.

With leaks you really should determine where it is coming from. Tercel had issues with the oil pan leaking at the front and rear hoop portion of the oil pan. It is sealed with a black silicone type Toyota FIPG gasket ($20) which i recommend if you are mechanically inclined and are gonna try to do it yourself. It is a messy job and care must be taken to get the surfaces clean and dry. If your car has high miles the rear main seal can also leak pretty much in the same spot at the back of the engine too, but the pan is easier and recommended first.

It is probably just leaking from the oil pan drain plug due to a worn plug washer. Its nothing serious unless you are leaking a lot of oil (enough to cause an actual puddle).
