Case # 1509281592 complaint of engine failure due to leaking "soft plug" type part on valley of engine. Installed at the Toyota assembly plant. This part leaked and allowed anti-freeze fluid to enter the valley and mix with the oil. Over time this caused a hard coating on all parts. The valve guide seals were ruined and the pvc and pick up tube were almost completely blocked. This caused the engine to burn oil and smoke. Toyota's fix was to buy a new engine for $6,826. 97. They did not want to fix my engine. Just sell parts and labor. I took it to a shop and they fixed my engine for less then half of that. Toyota is at fault for not installing parts in the engine correctly.

While driving a strong "burning oil" smell began to fill the passenger compartment. Immediately took the vehicle to a nearby service station where they found oil coating all over the engine compartment with a higher concentration on the passenger side. After putting a couple quarts of oil they started the vehicle and immediately a stream of oil (about the size of a pencil lead) was found spraying out from a rubber hose located toward the rear of the engine compartment on the passenger side of the car, just above a metal bracket. The car was towed to a dealer who replace the leaking hose.

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.

Drove to work (17 miles) 10/2/2008, as typical at 6:30am still dark. After driving about 5 miles kept getting whifs of burning engine oil but kept thinking it was another vehicle on the road. This was intermittent enough so I did not think it was my vehicle. Also the newness of the vehicle deceived me. Arrived at work and did some looking. Found the trail of oil in the parking lot and raised the hood to see oil spewed on the passenger side of engine compartment. Called for tow to mechanic. Mechanic said that there is a TSB on this. Why was there not a recall? this could be catastrophic! the oil light did not come on and the temp was normal throughout. . . . My only indication of a possible problem was smell and to my knowledge persons without this sense are more common than I suspected.
