Power steering pump

Hello just checking to see if anyone has had any issues with their power steering pump on their 3rd gen? I saw oil my concrete this am took it to a shop, they showed me my power steering pump was covered in oil And told me to take it to the dealer to see if i had warranty, i have a 2016 with 58k miles. I called the dealership they said i didnt have any warranty on it, scheduled an apt for monday..

 

Another timing cover leak
Sorry bud, that's not good if you are out of warranty.
It looks pretty bad, I'd get it in soon.
At 58k, I am not sure this falls under the power train 60k warranty

 

Yea that's what 3rd one I've seen this week on here. Not looking forward to fixing this in the driveway..

 

I'd be fighting looong and hard to get the dealer to fix it. Take it in asap before milage grows

 

Will do, i will report back. thanks everyone

 

Hopefully there's a tutorial out by then haha

 

Wow another timing cover leak . Glad I got the 100,000 mile extended warranty .

 

The paranoia sets in again... thank TW. Not the first time and not the last haha.

 

Timing gasket. 60k or 5 years, you could be at 59,999 as long as you get it recorded by the shop they'll cover and you'll get like a 1 year warranty. Get it in asap.

 

Yep 60 months or 60,000 miles check it before then boys

 

thank you both. I thought so.

 

For some reason I thought Toyota was denying these for some "powertrain" loophole.

 

Ones I've seen have been over 60k. The few others were well under 36k and it was covered

 

Interesting. That's good at least

 

The 2nd gens with 4.0L has a leak Of the timing cover by the power steering pump too. The cause is the the thickness of the mounting flange on the PS pump is a little wider than the area it fits into on the timing cover, pulling the TC away from the motor. Per advice here on TW, I removed the PS pump, filed down the flange on the pump so it would slide back into the TC with ease, slathered up the TC joint to the motor with permatex right stuff and put back together.(put pump back on). Several thousand miles later, no more TC leak.
I wonder if the same/similar situation exists on the 3rd gens 3.5L?

 

My Tacoma hasn’t had any issues, but it’s only got 22k. My Tundra with the 5.7 had a timing chain cover leak at 25k covered under warranty, $1800!! Must be a Toyota thing

 

Update: took my truck in to toyota they put some dye in the oil had me drive around for two weeks , took it in today they just called me said its the timing cover and is completely covered under warranty (thank god) said they will have my truck for a week. Miles:58,500

 

That's cool it's covered.

 

Good to hear, and appreciate the follow-up on the outcome.

 

Yes we need the follow up
