Toyota has a known problem with their 5. 7 l v8 engine with the cam shaft towers leaking oil onto the exhaust which is a fire hazard. This is a result of them not applying enough sealant at the factory, which was confirmed to me by the Toyota dealership. Toyota refuses to cover the issues even though thousands of people are complaining about the issue online, class action suits have been opened and there is a petition online to get them to recall this issue with over 6,000 signatures. Mine personally has the oil leak and I can smell burning oil every time I get out of the vehicle. There is a large oil burn stain on the exhaust where the oil is falling. Apparently it's going to take a fire and someone to get hurt before Toyota recognizes this issue and fixes it.

Vehicle at 23199 miles, still under warranty-car stationary, smelled burning oil and noticed the oil leak from both sides of the wheel well above the heat shield. Vehicle was diagnosed by a dealer and cam tower seal was leaking from both sides. They also found valve cover was leaking as well. This was a great safety concern due to fire hazard. Factory defect due to insufficient seal applied to the matting surfaces. Defect remedied and major repair was completed. They have changed all the gaskets and seals on the engine.
