    Started under warranty, two different dealers attempted to fix it. Stays sealed for 5-10k miles and leaks again. So disappointed in this truck to be honest. Its dripping not the smallest leak. Last dealer to fix it is 2000 miles from me and ill have to take it back there or pay 3500 again. Toyota customer cares doesnt give a fuck of course.

    That’s bad. Hope you get it fixed. Was it just seeping initially and the supposed fix made it worse as some owners experienced?. I guess it all depends on the tech that’s working on the engine . Might be hit or miss

    Why? They would have record that it was done by Toyota.

    Na i dont think it made it worse, also the last dealer that fixed it is actually one of the largest toyota dealers, my friends dad is the master tech hand picked who he thought would be best for the job, so i don’t blame them.
