Welcome to the Supra world! You should check out this website: http://www.supramania.com
It gets much more traffic and probably has all the answers you'll ever need.

When was the last time you changed your oil filter? Sounds like it's either not tight enough or old enough that the rubber gasket may be leaking...
Have you checked your cold start injector/sensor/all that good stuff? Sounds more like a battery problem though, How old is the battery? You'll probably need one with a higher CCA rating.

I dont think its the battery cause its brand new(needed it to pass saftey) and it cranks strong almost seems like itsnot getting gas or something.. then i pump the gas or hold it down and it starts but then leaks oil from filter area.. someone wa saying before that you can buy an extension to put the filter out to where u can reach it.... id ont know if mine has it but maybe this is the prob??? well any help is nice again thanks.. i will try the filter to..

check your diagnostic trouble codes.

my guess would be a bad CSI time switch (cold start injector time switch).
