    With my new purchase I decided to spend an HR wiping down engine and associated under carriage. I have a couple of leaks or weeps.... I'll put 200miles on it tomorrow so if it is leaking maybe I will spot where it is coming from. No fluids levels are low and nothing from on top of engine. Possible from somewhere on top of the rack and pinion steering assembly. But maybe somewhere near valve cover gasket? I assume the oil is collection of significant amount of time.... Thanks for any help

    Try snugging up the valve cover bolts. That worked on my buddies 2006 tundra and mine as well.

    agree with the valve covers, only place mine has ever leaked. I replaced the valve cover gaskets and tube seals when I did my timing belt.

    Steering rez leaks at hose entries due to spring clamps weakening. Use big box stainless clamps in lieu. Fixed!
