Well , another owner of a 2010 3 door (48,000+ mis. , drives about 1,000 mis. per week ) we know also has the same oil leak from the head gasket of the #1 cylinder as our 2010 and that of the 2008 before the head gasket replacement which is fine thus far . Know this by checking his engine last THURSDAY and it had some black soot ( dried from heat of engine overtime ) along with a small amount of fresh oil on my finger tip . After discovering this I cleaned the area thoroughly and went back to check earlier today to find more fresh oil on the tip of my fingers . Recleaned it and plan to recheck in a week or so . Yes . I did check to make sure no oil was spilled from previous fills of oil and none was found . We also went to local used car that had a 2008 YARIS 3 door with 47,000+ miles . Luckily the car was unlocked so I could pop the hood to check for the leak . That too had the sooty black oil residue in the same spot . Over a month ago I looked at a 2008 YARIS sedan with 28,000 miles at a dealer and that had the sooty residue . I always lift up the plastic engine cover of every YARIS I inspect to make sure no oil was spilled .

We've been given a 8 year / 125,000 mile powertrain warranty ( Platinum ? ) for free by TOYOTA for the 2008 . That's a relief . We're likely to keep the '08 sedan until it craps out .

that's very strange of the 15 or so 1nz-fe engines I have worked on and checked over in the past week, I still have yet to see one that has any sort of leak like the one you describe. Glad you got the free extended warranty the engine will easily exceed that coverage with normal maintenance intervals.

Got verification it's the PLATINUM . Hope to get the PLATINUM for free for the 2010 3 door after the head cylinder gasket is replaced in that .

OK, I made an HD video of the area in question.

Thanks for the video . Can't get much more defined than that . Have to hook up the PC to the LCD t.v. for the HD and put it on loop . May even use the video as a screen saver .
