Taco is short for Tacoma, as stated in the subject. It has the 3.4L 5vz-fe.

My beloved 3.4L taco has developed a leak at the valve cover. It drips right onto the manifold, causing it to smell like burning rubber all the time. I want to change the gasket asap but at the same time I am moving across the country and have no choice but to drive it first. Is there an OTC oil...

Thanks for the info ramblin. I'll check into that. I managed to contact the service manager who was dealing with my truck and he confirmed that a tech did add "a small amount" of ATF. He couldn't tell me how much. I'm assuming it was like a cup or 2. Either way, it really makes them look...

Got it back from the stealership. They couldn't even give me a straight answer on if they checked the transmission fluid level..... that kind of bothered me. One guy said "yeah it was good, ask that guy" another guy said they probably didn't bother since it was outside and they didn't feel like...
