    Who here has or had a 3rd gen with an oil leak from the timing cover (most likely passenger side)? Tell us all your situation; mileage, year, maintenance prior to leak. Your fix with dealership, shop, or diy in the cave, and the outcome with miles. Please leave out blue devil fix comments.

    I just bought a 2020 used with 26k miles that likely has the timing cover leak. I immediately jumped on here after my purchase. This is my 4th tacoma and long time member to this forum and was curious about everyone's experience with these new trucks. After running across posts about this leak I inspected mine and I indeed have a very small amount of oil on the passenger side front of the engine behind and below the psp. Ill likely take it to my local dealer this week and have it looked at.
