“Recall of head gaskets in Toyota trucks started in 1996. My vehicle is a 1989/1990 Toyota mini motorhome...truck 89..sea breeze motor home built in 1990. They refused to fix.”
NHTSA complaint #10117911, filed 2005-04, 58,700 miles“Upon purchase I realized that the motor was using consierable amounts of oil--a quart every 250 miles. My mechanic determined that some combination of head, head gaskets, or block problems attributed to the considerable oil leakage that was taking place. A considerable amount of oil leakage was also detected near the rear main seal portion of the motor, but more particularly some aluminum housing piece that contained a seal in that location. Once fixed, leakage continues.”
