Description of the problem	Noticed oil puddle on my garage floor when vehicle was approximately 3 years old and still under powertrain warranty. Toyota dealer replaced oil line hose.

This time was timing cover leak. Dealer repaired vehicle under warranty and referred to some tsb concerning timing cover leak. Continued to have periodic leaks attributed to loose connections. At 95,000 miles timing cover leaking again. Dealer repaired, but no warranty service. Complained to toyota why no recall and having recurring problem with timing cover.
