Could you perhaps take a photo of said leak area and add it here to your next comment.? When ever I undertake a diagnosis of an oil leak...I consider the Crankcase Ventilation System for this engine. If this system is restricted...a brand new engine will leak oil. Having said that...where is the valve or restiction controlling this system? More research required. We use a manometer to quickly cgeck the system. Lets see whats available by Googling PCV for your make model year.

I have a 2006 Toyota Camery Hybrid, my sister i law was driving it the other day and she said it overheated while driving it, she kept driving till it died, and she continued coasting as far as she could on a mountain road, it was taken to a local gas station and parked, when I got to the car, the radiator cap was blown off , so I tried to refill the coolant , but it leeked out I looked to see ware it was coming from, it seems to be from the water pump, as well I opened the the oil cap, and the oils smells burnt and the color is dark brown?
