Yep - that was the leak ... ! ! Sayonara baby.

Wife insisted she wouldn't sell to anyone - only use for trade-in - because she couldn't tell anyone that it wasn't a pig to repair.

This our third Camry ... so expecting similar longevity - or better.
My '87 LE (4 cyl - 90K) is, mechanically, the best car I've owned - tho some body rust - likely due to salt air environment.
Survived timing belt failure at 65K when I didn't replace at 60K per manual.
