    Hello I own a 2019 limited tundra only has 30k miles and the engine started to leak oil.... It’s not as bad because if I have the truck parked for a week without moving it, there’s no oil on the ground but the engine is covered in certain parts with oil one spot is underneath right where the passenger is and the other spot is on top when you’re looking at the engine on your right hand side I’m wondering if anybody else has this issue I’m bringing it to the dealership hopefully tomorrow and hopefully it’s still covered under the 50,000 powertrain five year.
    I never tow
    anyone else have this issue?
    this pic is from underneath the truck, passenger side front. The leak from the top is on the opposite side of the engine next to the battery

    Have you checked for cam tower leaks? A little searching should give you an idea how to check these trucks for it.

    It's an expensive/involved repair so if that's what's up, it should be covered, but definitely something you'll need to confirm with your dealership.

    Welcome to the forum from OKC! No leaks here. I can't tell much of anything from the photo. Report back after you visit the dealership and let us hear more about what exactly is going on here. As said above, cam tower leaks can occur, but usually more of a weep vs. leak that makes any parking surface stain. Good luck!

    Yes, I think you can. If nothing else you can post on YouTube and then copy the link followed by pasting it here and it would work.

    Keep us posted on what the dealer says. Thanks for sharing. Apologies I haven’t experienced this or have any advice at this point.

    I have same "seep" according to the dealer. Its the seal around or at the timing chain cover, ( can't remember the exact location). I have had it for over 3 years and have never been down on oil. They wouldn't do warranty work on it as it was not dripping, (but I have it documented by them for the seep).
