Timing cover leak, it usually leaks next to the steering pump. I don't think the 2010 head unit is capable of software updates. Other than an occasional oil leak maybe a leaking water pump these are great trucks. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

Can you get some pictures of the crank shaft, the key way area specifically? You should be able to see this without disassembly. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

Using lube to these pins will attract dirt and can cause failure. They are not sealed. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

You 4runner should have 4 piston calipers. Slide pins require no lube. Make sure they are clean and rust free. Apply a small amount of rustez or high temp brake grease to the back of the pad between the shims. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

When you take it to the dealer ask to drive a like 4runner. Most likely it is a normal and no repair will be required. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

So this is can be a big issue. Yes you can reuse the crank bolt but if it is not tightened correctly it will come loose. It is good pratice to use lock-tight on these engines every time the bolt is removed. If the engine was ran with the bolt loose "witch it was" the key way can be damaged...

Check clearance between the airbox inlet and inner fender area where the air inlet passed through. Sometimes the foam will wear and cause this type of noise. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

It appears that someone has had your tierod end off at one time. That is what caused the dent and most likely causing the grease to leak. At any rate due to outside influence "the dent" this will not be covered under manufacture warranty. Yes it is a easy repair if you can perform an alignment...
