Well here goes.

I have a 997 camry that no matter wher Itake it to be fixed for the same oil leak. It never gets fixed.

I was told 2 time that the subpan is leaking but that it's warped now and henceforth the leak that get slower when I take it in and get it back. But still leaks.

Subpan warped?
rear seal?

I have no idea!

I am not sure too but it might be your front crankshaft seal. The 6 cylinder oil pump is located on the front of crankshaft and the front crankshaft seal is the one stopping the oil pump from leaking out.

If it is the oil pan, try using the original Toyota seal packing or gasket maker. As soon as you applied the Toyota gasket maker, you have 3 minutes to assemble it.
