I just looked at mine and found it leaks too! 30k miles.
I might do what you did , but I'm still under warr. though I HATE having the stealership techs screw up my car or scratch it up.

" I HATE having the stealership techs screw up my car or scratch it up "

+ 1 , we know your concerns . Imagine how we felt with getting the head gasket replaced for the 2008 and still needing to get the 2010 head gasket done . When they brought the 2008 out to be picked up after the fix we gave it a good lookover , I found the cowl was loose and they didn't tighten the bolt that holds the underside plastic engine guards in place . They brought it back in and had it fixed in 10 minutes . Luckily I knew what to look for , many others probably wouldn't . The REPAIR MANUAL provided in the D.I.Y. forum helped with that . I give THANKS to whoever provided it

. What I didn't notice since it was dark was that they badly scuffed the plastic engine cover by tossing it on the shop floor . Then about a week later I decided to look for any oil leaking and discovered the oil filter was loose enough to leak oil and easily spin it off by hand . Then I took a look at the air filter since they remove the housing and hose during the fix and found the air filter was covered with grease and dirt as if placed on a dirty work bench or tossed to the floor . I installed the new air filter in APRIL . We wonder what may be lurking within the engine itself after the fix . We're trying to get TOYOTA to give us a 7 yr. / 100,00 mile extended warranty for free in case there's a problem with the repair further down the road . Best of luck wth your repair .
