I'll possibly get to it after a few more oil changes with conventional engine oil . The 2010 seems to have stopped leaking with 2 conventinional O.C.s . Took it over 160 miles earlier in 90 degree heat . Did a quick check not long after we arrived home and nothing far as I can tell . Will do a more thorough inspection tomorrow . Keep our fingers crossed . So , 127.0.0.1 you'll need to be more patient .

only, perhaps, mask the problem. the problem remains you need to repair a seal or gasket there are no -liquid engine repair kits- |

drain plug is leaking is my guess did you put a new drain bolt gasket on the drain bolt after you drained the oil ? all stop leak products a a bigger problem after you use it just like 127.0.0.1 is saying i fix the problem never will use half assed stop leak products in anything motor or tansmission of mine good luck with your oil leak should be a simple fix is my guess

yes , always use a washer for the drain plug . There are pics of the leak . It's the plastic head gasket . Not a simple fix , quite a task . Don't use stop leak products . Would most likely void the warranty . Have been doing oil changes and working on cars ( nothing major ) for over 25 years .

do you mean under the black motor cover ? that comes off with to nuts then the valve cover is exposed just seems odd a 2010 springing a leak so eary on but it can happen to any new car

When did they start making plastic head gaskets? I've seen lots of plastic gaskets, including plastic intake gaskets, but that's a new one for me.

Napa's import line (Altrom) gasket for our Yaris looks to be layered steel with a coating on it; pretty typical for most.
I don't think plastic, even if it's reinforced around the combustion areas would take the heat, but I've been wrong before. |

It is definitely an MLS (multi-layer steel) head gasket.

Thanks . That's it . Looks to be a smooth plastic coating . The leak is from the lower right corner of the gasket close to the timing chain . The area circled in BLUE is where the leak comes from both '08 and 2010 . The exposed part of the gasket runs under the upper head . Wouldn't know it was steel by looking and touching it . I'll call someone to find out if it's all plastic or plastic coated steel or other coating.

2010 still leaks . Checked it after 3 days and around 160 miles . Seems like when there's back pressure from within the engine when brake assist kicks in the leak(s) is/are worse ( 2008 included ) .

Hershey are you planning to get this fixed on both? I cleaned mine pretty well about 600 miles ago and I see no leaks, I'm still using Mobil 1 Synthetic.
