Timing cover leak TSB follow up - how's it holding up?
Hey all! Did some digging on here and other forums before posting but couldn't come up with an answer to my specific question. I noticed my 05 started to develop an oil leak. Tracked it down and determined that it's most likely the infamous timing cover leak Toyota issued a TSB for. However, I signed up with Toyota's owners section, input my VIN and was able to access the service history of the vehicle, where I found that the reseal was done back in 2010 when it had 49k miles (currently at 110k). I find it hard to believe that the reseal would be failing again already.
I also came across at least one Tacoma owner on TW who had a problem with the gasket behind the square plate on the front of the timing cover. Occam's Razor dictates this would be the answer and decided to order a new gasket today from the dealer to try before ripping the motor apart.
So I'm wondering if anyone here had the cover resealed while still under the warranty/TSB period, or anytime I guess, and if you've had problems with it since. If you did, did you have to reseal it, or did it end up being that plate gasket?
Thanks!
