Description of the problem	This is not a safety complaint. It is an attempt to get toyota motor to admit a defect in many of their engines. Oil and coolant leaking from the engine of my 2001 highlander. I was told by toyota service that they found 3 stripped head bolts which cause the leak and it ended up costing me $3,500 to repair the head and block. No guarantee that the bolts would not skip out again. I have read a growing number of complaints from toyota owners who have faced the same problem and toyota refuses to help or admit that this maybe a engine flaw.
