Timing cover leak = first trip to dealer

[lpsoldia311]

just an update, dropped it off 8/13 they cleaned up the oil and put dye in it. said they couldn't find any oil/dye so they gave it back to me Tuesday 8/18, charged me almost $213 and a $37 fuel charge for the rental that they said I didn't fill up (I was told to fill it to the same amount I received it which was just under 3/4th a tank)

drove it around for less than 100 miles (it's my wife's DD) and got under it last night with a uv light and there is dye/oil everywhere. they won't let me bring it back in till my tech is back on Tuesday, but I can't see where the oil is coming from even with the dye.

This honestly sounds like my situation, I put more dye in after Toyota couldn't find anything conclusively since it was just appearing more as a misty / very fine spotty mess all over and was accumulating on everything near the fan area and behind the belts after 25-50 miles (Toyota just ran it in the bay on the lift). You might have the front main crank seal seeping enough to get slung everywhere from the fan and belt like I did, looked like a slowly evolving Jackson Pollock painting with the UV light.

And as an update with 10k more miles since that front main seal service it's still been dry all over and been holding up well so far.
