" If this "leak" stuff makes you worried for your own Yaris I suggest close monitoring of your oil level. If the level isnt dropping say, a quart in 500-1000 miles, theres no problem.
Oh and if there IS a leak and your using synthetic oil you might want to switch back to conventional oil. It will leak a little less. And another thing. You really really do NOT want to take your otherwise good running car in to Toyota and let someone take it all apart and put it back together again. I dont know how many times Ive seen cars come back from the shop with MORE problems than when they went in. Its the old saying "If it aint broke dont "fix" it." Unless you are adding significant ammounts of oil to your engine, it isnt broke. " The head cylinder gasket was replaced a year ago and no longer leaks . Still check it . Using SHELL 5W-30 synthetic for 4,400 miles and no leaks . Will be doing an U.O.A. to see how the oil holds up and how things are internally since the fix . Plan to post UOA here in D.I.Y..
