Oil Cap Gasket?

[highwind]

Is there a gasket in the Valve Cover for the Oil cap? Im getting a small film of oil on top of my Valve Cover and its annoying the roflroflroflrofl out of me lol

There is! Although I've never needed to replace one (they typically hold up well). It's Toyota part #12195-71020 and sells for about $5. Strangely enough, you can get the whole oil cap (includes gasket) on www.rockauto.com for $1.95. It's BECK ARNLEY Part #0160127. Tim

Can anyone describe what this gasket looks like? Ie is it round in cross section or flat.

I'm not sure if my cap is the right part, but there's no gasket and doesn't have a groove on the underside. So something like an oring probably would not work.


thanks
