I found this on a RAV4 thread. Not sure if the 2.4L 22R is similar to the F20/22 design at all, but might provoke more thinking:

Yes.

Oil was passing through the head gasket from the main oil feel hole, right front of the engine.

I sealed the circle in the head gasket with adhesive M and its been cured.

Okay. Thanks.

I asked because I'm having trouble diagnosing a coolant issue myself. Would you please take let me know what you think?
