Description of the problem	My tundra has 48048 miles on it. I took my tundra in for an oil change and was told there was a oil leak in the cam tower. The cost to fix it was $2850. It was no longer under warranty. I did a little searching and found that this is a problem that has occurred frequently in this engine. I contacted toyota and was told, after they consulted with the dealer, that the problem wasn't a defect, but caused by engine wear and altitude. They offered to pay for parts, which were $420. If it is really engine wear, i expect this to happen again. In talking to the dealer, i was told this is a one time fix, and it should not happen again. Something isn't right here. Either it is a defect in the engine and this repair will fix it. Or it is normal wear and this will keep happening. I feel this is a problem that toyota should fix, since it seems to be happening frequently. Many people reported it happening while it was under warranty. Mine just happened to have occurred after the warranty expired. Either way, it is not acceptable to have this happening in this engine with low mileage. Apparently the oil leaks down from the engine onto the exhaust part of the vehicle and can cause fires. It also can leak out and cause engine damage if the oil gets too low. I hope you can help me.
