Oil leak 2006 Avalon xls 65,857 miles after driving home about 45 miles and parked car smelled the odor of burning oil. I inspected the engine compartment and saw oil on the upper portion of the engine after looking under the car saw oil was dripping. Took in to Toyota the next day. Before I could tell the service person everything he told me that problem was a hose and that it would be about 400. 00 to repair as my car was out of warranty.
For some time - several weeks - I had noticed an odor of burning oil in the passenger compartment of my 2006 Toyota Avalon. I was exiting the interstate and at the stoplight noticed a great amount of smoke pouring from the engine compartment. I was, fortunately, within a mile of the dealership from which I had purchased the car and drove it into their service bay. When I got out of the car I noticed that a great amount of oil was pouring out onto the floor of the service bay. The service man came over and I began to explain the circumstances of the oil leak. They immediately told me what it was - an rubber oil line. They kept the car for three days and returned it "repaired". Now after a couple of months I again notice the same smell in the passenger compartment and intend to take it as soon as I can back to the dealer. Question: why isn't Toyota putting out a recall on this particular year and model of the Toyota? I see that there are many similar complaints being made.
