    this^^^^^ if you're on the list, take it in so it's in writing that you

    did your due diligence regarding the issue and that it's documented.

    it takes all of 10 minutes to look at and document it for a permanent record, also if you get past the 36k warranty and a massive leak erupts then you can fall back on the documentation as proof of a pre existing issue with it

    Safe for now. I'm not part of the recall as of yet. I've read that the SR manuals get the 8.75" rear, perhaps this is why.

    I'm definitely going to take it in. But since it doesn't appear to be leaking I'll wait until it's convenient for me.. and there's not 10,000 other Tacomas in line ahead of me.
