Timing Cover Leak Question - 2004 Toyota Corolla with low mileage
Hello and Happy Holidays,
My mom has been told by the dealer that her "timing cover is leaking" and it
would cost $1200 to repair. There is no leakage of oil on the ground in her
driveway. She had it looked at by a second mechanic, who confirmed that
there was a leak, and that he would do it for "half of the dealer quoted price".
I have been reading info on this, and have seen that it could be related to a
smaller repair needed (bolts, crank seal/position sensor, oil pressure sending
unit/switch). I also have heard that it could be a "scam" of sorts and she is
elderly. Any advice you could provide would be great - thank you!
