Excellent news! The Tercel is now leaking oil in a manner similar to Exxon Valdez. Rate of loss is observable. No more driving this baby... Time to park it. Might just do a 4A swap for, uh... [consults urbandictionary.com]... “mad gainz, yo.”

I’m not at all upset. This is this is pretty much how Tercel ownership is. Even the best one you can find is still a 32 year old car at the end of the day.

In any case, here is doggo, and another doggo.

So get the drivetrain from a ST205 AllTrac and put that in the Tercel.

What about a 2zz-GE swap? I’m sure it can’t be That hard.

Park it? Nonsense! You should see the oil slick left by the Cougar. I’m willing to bet when I open it up, there won’t even be a rear main seal left.

It’s way too thick for new oil. Now the pickup leaks a good amount but mechanically it’s been as dependable as an old pair of underwear for five years so I don’t worry about that one.

Don’t think the transmission can handle that lol

why engine swap it? It could be as simple as an oil pan gasket.

There are newer Tercels you know...

OK, sure they aren’t AWD or wagon but the newest Tercel is less than 20 years old. That makes it downright modern!

Do it! Silvertop 4AGEs aren’t expensive!

The Tercel is FWD. Infact I think it was Toyotas first FWD car, in the US anyway.

His is 4wd. It has a bespoke transmission/transfer case to make it work and the bell-housing pattern is different on A engines than Z engines. Trust me, I’m a fan of 2ZZs, but that’s not the way to go here. Silvertop 4AGE is because it’s cheaper than a Blacktop, bolts up to the transmission, and A engine swaps to Blacktops and Silvertops are well supported and documented.
