Throw in a new valve cover gasket and plug seals, some new plugs for good measure, clean it up and ship it. Use some gasket sealant for good measure, especially in the corners where the gasket has to make sharp bends. Even Camrys become money pits if you drive them long enough. This car is old enough to vote, so you want to be conscious of how much money you put into it. Clean it up, then ship it. Wait till it actually decides to leak more before you cross that bridge.
bings notoriously leak at the slit where the bolt tightens them down on the intake (although, i wouldn't fully attribute your problem that you are having to just that little leak that would be caused there). I usually, will slide an o'ring in the bing carb intake side of the carb. Then i will apply this stuff http://www.amazon.com/Permatex-80062-High-Gasket-Sealant/dp/B000HBGHB8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1437755190&sr=8-2&keywords=gasket+sealer to fill that gap in the intake slit of the carb. Tighten to intake, and smear more of it over the slit on the bing.
You can use the high tack sealer on the base gasket, intake gasket and others, just not exhaust or head. It's great, it will stick, it can be a pain to get off but it will not be like a more permanent substance like the grey sealer. And the red silicone is shit, it just slides out...you would just waste your money on it.
You might want to get some carb cleaner with the long red stray and do sprays around the base gasket and head gasket, be sure it doesn't get near the intake of the carb which will lead to false dropping of RPMs.
And yes, check your needle position too, but that wouldn't really affect topend. That would only be your main jet.
Would Permatex High Tack Gasket Sealant be adequate? I've used it to hold the new gasket onto the new water pump to have ready for when I go to install: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HBGHB8?psc=1&ref=ppx\_yo2\_dt\_b\_product\_details

One more tweak to the products added to the breech seal and compression chamber air transfer port:
Use Permatex High Tack Gasket Sealant over the air transfer port, and use Elmer's No-Wrinkle Rubber Cement over the breech seal. This not only improves the seal just a little bit, but also keeps your thumb cleaner since you are pushing down on dried rubber cement instead of tacky gasket sealant when you load the pellets.
I'm now getting between 560 and 580 fps using 7.2 grain .177 Daisy Pointed pellets. That's about 5.2 FPE, which is not too shabby for a gun that can be found for $65.
My only problem now is that one of my two guns shoots high, even with the rear sight adjusted all the way down. This is the opposite problem that many reviewers deal with, where the sight won't go high enough, because the gun shoots low. I guess I'll try some heavier pellets in that gun and see if that brings the POI down. Not a bad problem to have though, I think.
BTW, I'm also posting stuff on the GTA Forums under the pseudonym "Whirligig." The Crosman folks suggested that I post my experiments and experiences with the Benjamin Trail Nitro-Piston air pistols there.
