Hey everyone,

Just wanted to report that my 07 Yaris Sedan (automatic) is having this issue. I am well beyond my warranty in years but not mileage. Warranty will not cover the issue. The fix was quoted as "Engine oil leaking from front cover, reseal cover, replace front crank seal & valve cover gasket" for which I am quoted the price of $502.00 + tax

1.) Is this really going to "Fix" the issue
2.) Is this price fair?

Thanks for any help on the issue.

Well are you seeing oil on your driveway from the pictures I have seen I'd doubt anyone would loose more than half a quart of oil between oil changes of that so I'd say just monitor your oil level and then repair it when it becomes a issue or gets worse check your pcv valve

I'd let it slide for now . Clean the areas and watch . Check P.C.V. as stated above and replace if needed . Takes about 15 minutes to replace . Longer if stubborn . Use an closed end wrench to get leverage . May want to check the rear corner and the back of of valve cover on the passenger side . That could be a a culprit . Remove any residue in that area . Would also clean any oil from top of the valve cover that may been spilled during oil changes . Do this when checking P.C.V.. I use window cleaner to cut through oil resdue / grime . You'd be amazed how well it works . Paper towels used to remove grime / oil .
