Toyota V8 vehicles are known for their reliability and performance, but like any engine, they can develop issues over time—especially oil leaks that affect performance, cleanliness, and driving comfort.
Recently, a Toyota V8 came into Euro Art Tuning with serious oil leak problems. Oil was seeping from multiple points, causing messy engine bays, burning smells while driving, and increased oil consumption. In this guide, we’ll walk you through what we did, why it’s important, and how professional maintenance can keep your V8 running smoothly
Key Takeaways
