Found : head gasket oil leak on 2 used 2010 YARIS ...
at TOYOTA dealer lot . Both had less than 5,000 miles . They sold another used 2010 with low mileage and was being picked up by the new owners as we looked at these . Hopefully that didn't have the oil leak as those 2010s , our 2 YARIS ( 2008 sedan and 2010 3 door ) , and a friends 2010 3 door .

The 2010s ( including ours ) with the oil leak were manufactured between AUGUST > OCTOBER of 2009 .

My 2010 LB was made in April 2010 (it says 4/10 on the door sticker). I havent checked, but could mine also have this problem?

Yes , it's possible . We just had the head gasket of our 2008 sedan replaced under warranty and no longer leaks oil . Our 2010 still leaks oil from the head gasket , plan to take that in for replacement under the warranty . Could include 2007 > 2010 . 2011 ? . We've notified TOYOTA of JAPAN and corporate offices here ( U.S. ) of the issue and haven't heard a word as of yet .

I don't think it's a head gasket leak. What you're seeing is probably a valve cover leak. That is a big difference.
A head gasket leak would cause a massive recall by Toyota. A valve cover leak is solved most of the time by tightening the hold down screw or bolt. You should confirm a head gasket leak with some kind of proof. |

It's no B.S. . They took one of the YARIS into the shop and will be monitoring the leak by driving both for a period of time for oil to build up . This is the same dealership that replaced the head gasket of the 2008 sedan and where we purchased the 2010 3 door ( oil leaking from the head gasket ) . I know where to look for a leaking valve cover , have over 20 years of experience with cars . You'll have to take our word for it .

I think he was talking about pictures, maybe even a statistic printout? I don't know, I'm still going to school for this right now...

There are plenty of pictures of our 2008 and 2010 YARIS showing the extent of the leak and its location in the DO IT YOURSELF room .

Here's the actual worksheet from the Toyo service center showing the head gasket replacement on the 2008 sedan. There has been NO leak since the fix.

The 2010 3 door that has the same oil leak as the sedan had is to be repaired in the near future. When the job is done, we'll post the worksheet for that as well.
