Engine leaking oil while running at the cam towers on both sides causes oil to drip onto engine exhaust header. This unsafe condition could cause a fire. This condition happens to all 4.6 and 5.7 tundra and sequoia engines produced after 2007. This is an extremely expensive to repair. The manufacture made these engines with inferior sealant at the cam towers.
