A leaking rocker cover gasket and a leaking head gasket are two separate issues that can occur independently of each other. The rocker cover gasket is responsible for sealing the rocker cover to prevent oil leaks, while the head gasket seals the cylinder head to the engine block. However, it is possible for oil leaks from the rocker cover to drip down and give the appearance of a head gasket leak. It is important to have a professional mechanic inspect the vehicle to accurately diagnose the source of the oil leak.

What do you do if you notice an oil leak in the engine of a Toyota Camry?
First, find out where the oil is leaking from. If it's leaking from the drain plug you might get by with just getting a new drain plug gasket and changing the oil. It could also be leaking from the oil filter in which case just change the oil filter. If it's leaking from the rocker cover gasket or the pan gasket you can drop the pan or remove the rocker cover and replace the gasket but if you haven't done it before it might be a little overwhelming. It might be leaking from the "rear main seal", that's the seal on the crankshaft of the engine where it connects to the transmission. If that's the case you have some expenses ahead of you. Just plan on adding oil when it gets low and start looking for another car if you don't want to spend that much money.

you have to cut out the fuel cells because they are partially attached to the rocker cover gasket but that will not completely remove it you also have to remove the radiator and then the rocker cover gasket will be suspended in the air. You then have to cut the cords and the gasket will fall to the ground. And the rest is pretty simple.
