oil leak 3rd gen v6

Hi all
I was at the oil change place today, the guys showed me an oil leak on the engine. Can some one please id what's leaking and how involved the repair is? This is on a 2017 tacoma v6 I just bought. Any help is greatly appreciated...thanks

 

Those black round things are called Cam Timing Oil Control Solenoid Assembly’s. I’d start by wiping off the grime and verify that the bolts are tight. Edit: welcome to the forum!

 

OK I give up, what's leaking?

 

Not a direct answer for your problem but you should pull that bracket off and grind a little material off so it cant rub a hole thru the coolant hose, i believe the newer ones were redesigned for a bit more clearance.

 

thanks taptqc, I did check the bolts, they're all tight....guess I'll take it in to be looked at...what is leaking is that round black dome thingy above the hose....

 

I would wipe it clean and keep an eye on it. Count yourself lucky if the timing cover doesn't end up with a leak.

Did they offer some magic in a bottle that could seal that leak for the low price of 3 easy payments of $29.99?

 

Wondering how many miles on that Taco. That appears to be seeping not leaking. Probably hardened o rings on the solenoids. Easy fix.

 

Hell, I need to check that out on mine.

 

it's got about 45K....I'm locating a O ring, see if the local dealer has one, then change it out....looks simple enough

 

I probably ended up grinding about 1/4" off it on my truck as it was making hard contact.

 

Ok, over the weekend I changed out the oring on the timing solenoid, as soon as I pulled out the solenoid, you can see the oring was broken....15 minutes later and it was done..easy fix

 

I know this is a VERY old thread but I have this issue now on my 2017 Tacoma. I can't quite nail down where to get the O-Ring required. If you're still out there let me know!

When you click the user name you can see last time they were on. His was 2 days after that last post.

But @Vlady has pulled out the save!
