Hi - My son has a 2010 Tacoma 4X4, with a 2.7 4cyl motor, 165,000+ miles. It has a minor oil leak on the back of the engine that appears to be coming from the head gasket. It’s enough to wet the back of the engine below the head but not leave oil stains on the ground. No coolant in the oil.
Should the head gasket be replaced at this point or is it safe to run the truck until if or when it gets worse.? He is in no hurry to fix it.... or is there any easy fixes he can do ?
Overall the truck is in great condition with a new frame put in under a recall. Owned since new. Maintenance always up to date.
Thanks,,!
