2013 sr5 oil leaks

[nw4yo]

i have had nothing but problems with my 4runner first it took me three times and then a toyota rep to get them to put die in the oil because oil was seeping out where engine and trans cover was then took it to another dealer and they found it to be a crack in uppper oil pan. Now i have a seep coming from where the head is and the block meet above left head. going to be dealing with toyota arbitration.
help please. what to do now.

I know it's a PITA dealing with dealerships, but all of this should be covered under the warrantee. Correct? Now, I do understand that you may get some "push back" from a dealership if the leak is deamed "insignificant" in their assessment. No dealership likes to deal with warrantee work. If it is actually dripping, or if your coolant is getting oily (check your coolant reservoir), then you have a pretty good case.

The leak/seap from between the head and the block is a likely nothing more than a $20 head gasket...but the labor to do the job can be several hours and hundreds of $. In older vehicles no longer under the warrantee period, or if the leak is very small, one can make a case for using a higher weight oil and/or one of the "stop leak" products at your local auto parts stores.
