Noticed possible oil leak ... - Toyota Yaris Forums

I think our new 2010 bought in JANUARY may have the same leak

. Put the tip of my finger on the spot where oil drop builds , oil and behold it's there

. Will put it on ramps to get a better look . No oil was spilled on the valve cover , dry as a bone . Read where the timing chain tensioner seal could be the culprit . Hard to tell since the head gasket seal , timing chain cover (sealant , gasket ) , and chain tensioner are in that general area of the source for the seeping oil . Wonder if we should get another TOYO service center to take a look at it . This is absurd
