My 2007 Kluger just went at 135000 kms. It dumped all the oil in about 10kms and coated the bottom of the car, wheel arches and even a mist up the back.
Lucky I found this thread and called up Toyota. They say they will only replace under warranty if it is leaking.
Anyway they sent a tow truck to pick it up, replaced the hose, oil cooler and gave it a basic clean underneath all for no charge.
Just imagine how many cars they could have proactively changed the hose on for what the delayed fix cost them for this one car.

I had the same noise, I recorded it on my phone and played it back to the Service Rep who said 'Oh that noise'. Just got the car back after a week and so far so good. As above the problem was not enough oil in the cam gears on startup. The VVTI cam gears have been replaced. All done under 3 month used car statutory warranty :D .
The Service Rep said that they were getting some money back from Toyota Aus for this one so even if you are out of warranty you may not be out of luck.
Slightly off topic I got State Roads (would recommend) to do an end of warranty inspection and all they found was and oil leak from the Timing case.

Agreed the Kluger does not look too hard if you have ramps you can access fairly well from underneath.
