How many of you DON'T have leaking cam towers?

14,500 mi thus far with no trouble. Hope it stays that way.

 

2015 5.7 111K. No leaks

 

2018 with 59K. Dry.

 

Are the 19-21 models less likely to have the issue?

 

2019 with 38,500 or so miles. I don’t any leaks

 

2017 DC with just under 60k: no leaks yet, anywhere.

 

2018 Tundra, 84,000 miles, totally dry.
2017 Sequoia, 27,000 miles, totally dry.

Where should I look to see if I have a leak?
I have a 2016 DC Tundra with a 4.6 L engine.
I have close to 60 K .

 

2014 1794 just under 70kmi; no leaks

 

2015 with 108k. No leaks, original seals. I’m hoping that at this point it just won’t ever happen, but if it does I hope it happens soon while I’m still under a Toyota powertrain warranty.

 

2017 dc 5.7 with 68k. No leaks.

 

59k on my '21. Dry towers.

I have one or two more changes of 0w20. Then I'm switching to 5w30.

 

2021 with 61k miles. No leaks

 

'15 with 107k, no leaks, yet....

 

18 51K no leaks

 

104K 2014 Seq - no leaks
57K 2020 Tundra - no leaks

 

If a cam tower leaks in the engine bay and no one is around to see it, does it really leak at all?

 

2019 with 79k, no leaks so far.

 

172,xxx and no leaks

 

'18 with 129k, so far so good!

Please excuse me while I go knock on some wood...

 

Just remember, if you knock more than twice..... your playing with it.

 

No, thats if you shake it.

 

17 pro w/ 103K no leaks, and very dry.
I switched to 5w-30 about 40K miles ago bc I heard it makes engine smoother but also saw somewhere on here that it helps thicken and or stops oil leaks on tundra/Land Cruiser cam towers.

 

Exactly. I was going to say, the "no" option in the poll should be changed to "I know what the cam tower leak is, actually checked, and it's dry". I asked a buddy of mine if his was leaking and he said "no", then admitted he didn't know what it was or where to look. I checked and, sure enough, both sides were leaking.

I'm not saying everyone's is leaking, but I suspect many of the people responding here just haven't noticed any oil leaks on the ground and haven't actually inspected the cam towers.

 

2020 with 75K miles, black sealant, and no sign of oil leaks so far.

 

If yours has black sealant that means it was already resealed (most likely due to it leaking). Most people have said once it's been resealed it usually doesn't leak again, so you should be good to go.

 

Should add some pictures to the original post so people know where to look.

 

I'm sure that if I were to answer no on the poll, mine would start leaking the next day.

 

07, 237,000 no leak. I hope it stays that way.

 

2014, 208K no leaks.
