Consumer Description

The truck has had three engine oil leaks since 4-20-22. The most recent is being repaired now. In each of these leaks, engine oil leaks out of the valve cover and or the cam tower and drips onto the exhaust. The burning oil can be smelled inside the truck cab. I am concerned it could cause a fire. The dealer has repaired the first two leaks and is working on the cam tower leak now (drivers side). I notified Toyota, they refused to fix the problem.
