Description of the problem	Engine oil leak over several weeks. Upon opening the oil fill cap, the rest of the oil came out the bottom of the car. I was forced to have it carried to the dealer because of that. The dealer informed me that it is v v t i hose on engine bank 1 that needed to be replaced, that toyota knew of the problem but they never recalled to fix the cars, they fixed them as customers brought them in (according to bulletin).
