My 2017 Toyota Tundra Limited has 107,192 miles. I took the vehicle to Berlin City Toyota in Portland, ME for an oil change. The service technician told me that the truck has a cam tower leak. The engine is leaking oil directly onto the exhaust manifold. The service technician told me that if the leak gets worse the engine oil could combust and the engine would light on fire.

UNBURNT FUEL IS ENTERING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND COMBUSTING WHEN IT COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTORS. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME IT IS DRIVEN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FROM THE DAY WE BOUGHT IT. TOOK THE TRUCK TO DICK HANNAH TOYOTA IN LONGVEIW WA. THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS. THE TALKED TO THE FACTORY BUT NOBODY HAS A SOLUTION. THE DEALER TRIED A SIMILAR TRUCK AND GOT THE SAME RESULTS. THEY TALKED TO THE TOYOTA FIELD REP. AND HE STATED HE COULD MAKE THIS HAPPEN TO HIS TUNDRA WHEN EVER HE WANTED? THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE INCRUISE CONTROL ALSO.
