Description of the problem	I have a 2005 avalon xls with about 25,000 miles. I took it to have a routine oil change on january 23, 2009. When the service technician got under it to remove the filter and drain plug he noticed oil sprayed on the engine and frame and asked me if i knew the vehicle had an oil leak. I told him no and that i hadn't noticed any oil on the ground where i park the car. He then looked at the engine from the top and noticed oil pooling on top of a small hose that connects to a metal line. He told me i should take it to the dealer right away to have the oil leak fixed. I immediately drove to the dealer and a mechanic there told me the problem was the oil pipe sub-assembly. The toyota service rep. Said toyota will get and pay for a rental car until my car was fixed. That was over 9 weeks ago and i still don't have my car back!!! The service rep states this problem is happening to many, many avalons and they're waiting for the parts to come in. I think there needs to be a recall issued for this problem not to mention the fact that toyota knew about this issue back in 2005 but did nothing about it. Also, can anyone explain why it's taking so long to get the parts?
