Okay, here's the update, since I offered before. Looks like it was a leak from the timing chain cover and perhaps the oil pan that resulted in oil being spread around the engine bay. Mechanic seemed legit, said accessory belt would probably have to be replaced too as the oil would have degraded it along with coolant tube (assuming "HOSE RAD OUT" - it was swollen but not at an immediate risk of bursting).
The prices are Canadian (despite "Labor" being spelt the American way hahaha) - Google says 1CAD = 0.74USD right now. A friend (an enthusiast as well, not a mechanic) suggested paying another shop to look at it as well since Toyota's charging ~$2k, just for a peace of mind. Compared to $2k, the $94.61 that Toyota charged to look at it seems to at least be pretty small. Well, at least this incident can serve as a good learning experience.

Thanks so much for the detailed and informative update. Interesting how they also want to re-seal the oil pan. I wonder what evidence made them think that would also be necessary.
As your friend mentioned, it could be worth getting a quote from another shop for the work, now that you know what needs to be done. Dealership labor rates are notoriously expensive. Then again, the dealer might have a more robust "guarantee" for their work, ie they will fix it again for free if it starts leaking again. Don't quote me on that though. But, it could be worth looking into. @Ultramaroon, thoughts?

Hard to say. Prior work puts into question every FIPG-sealed surface. Clean off the engine and add some fluorescent dye to the oil. Find the source and go from there.

I get what you're saying as well - if the dealerships admit fault they could do it for free, but if not, might be hard to fight them if something does go wrong. If nothing else, they do at least have an incentive to do it right as well, given they have a reputation and a big brand and more experience/knowledge working on some of the same cars. |
