My 2008 Grande just had the same thing happen. Toyota advised because it was over 10 years, the replacement was no longer under warranty/recall. Did they mention this to you or anyone else?
My 2008 Kluger had the same problem, earlier this year. I noticed my car had dumped a lot of oil & I took it to my mechanic. He immediately recognised the problem & said it was a known issue & rang the Toyota dealership for me. The dealership asked him for car details, including odometer reading. The dealership towed my car from the mechanics & repaired at no charge. It must have been borderline, as to whether it was covered - car would have been 10 yrs at the time. (Odometer was approx 148,000.)
oil cooler lines..it can rupture.
