Oil Pipe Leak

It is heat and pressure and the quality of the rubber hoses. The oil cooler pipes when they leak are replaced by Toyota.

It is a different matter for the rear VVTi oil pressure line which is no longer covered by Toyota. There was a Technical Service Bulletin released in 2008/2009? and a kit provided to the dealerships to replace the rubber mid-section with upgraded rubber specification hose section. This must have been a workaround until full metal pipe was able to be supplied. Due to the length of this pipe, you need to make sure that the mid-section is bolted to avoid potential breakage due to vibration.

Oil cooler pipes are a different. The OEM rubber hoses were of a higher specification. Yet they still developed seepage or a pin hole leak. 

I have already had the "joy" and expense of replacing the rear VVTi oil line.

In the meantime, I am keeping a watchful eye on these oil cooler pipes. 

@matt36415 Toyota must love you more than me to send you letters to come in for a replacement.

For TRD owners there is no metal replacement from Toyota either... :tongue_ss:

TRD versions are different ?

its shaped differently as the standard one would foul on the accessory belt due to the supercharger. They did put out a revised rubber one but if you want the all metal replacement you gotta get it from Lotus

I just had my Aurion ATX 2010 in for service today and received a call regarding oil cooling pipe has a prick hole and car is deemed not safe to drive till replaced. Service department bloke said they are taking photos and sending of for Warranty and awaiting a reply if it will be replaced at their cost or mine. 
I was informed it was picked up during service in 2020 and deemed safe? 
I will keep you updated on the outcome.

my car has always been serviced at Toyota and only has 209,900 Kim’s
