over time it is quite normal for oil to leak out of the valve cover gasket.
Sounds like my timing cover oil leak that was repaired under warranty.
I have the timing cover leak on both of my 2014 Prius. The oil is only leaking near the timing chain tensioner. Has anybody tried to just replace...
Usually it’s a timing chain cover leak, which is on the passenger side. Many have experienced this on their factory sealed engines. The oil...
"generally?" Why do you think it's the timing cover? Maybe it's the oil pressure switch. Or the valve cover gasket. You want to replace the motor...
Hi all, The prius is slowly leaking oil, I've traced it to the timing tensioner gasket as there is fresh oil on the ground and around the...
This would be a common leak in the timing cover, most have just ignored it. My 2010 had this leak around 80k miles and it burns a little oil. I...
Can you SEE where it's leaking? Did you clean the pan really good? It may just be leftover oil from the crank sensor leaking. Cracked? Did...
Quart per 1K miles is bad but not horrible. You could try something like 10w-40 to see if that makes it better (or worse) next time you do an oil...

Usually timing-cover leaks are not as serious as greedy dealers want us to believe, but they can be. Just keep watching it. I doubt oil leaking...
Took 2007 Prius to check exhaust smell with A/C set to recirc. They couldn't find anything to cause that, but did find an oil leak. We saw no...
The dealer said timer belt cover?... That's odd since the prius doesn't have a timing belt. It has a timing chain, so it still has a cover, I...
If it's the oil pressure switch leaking that'd be much preferable to the timing chain cover, a lot easier to resolve. (y)
Timing chain cover small leaks is common in any car. My Altima 2002, Prius 2006, and Auris have Hybrid 2016 all have these issues at different...
