Engine oil seal leaking again

2000 Toyota Camry LE V6

Engine oil seal leaked at 50k, the repair was under warranty.

Now I have 63k, I have a oil seal leak again. Should Toyota cover the cost of the repair? Im hoping that this is not a chronic problem.

Dont say that I overfill my oil, cause I only put in 5 quarts every oil change.

Once, I took my car to Toyota and I dropped the car off with 5 Quarts of mobill 1 (the manual says 5 Quarts). When I pick up my car I and went to pay the bill it was $8.00 more than normal, and notice that they had charged me for a quart of mobil 1. I flipped, the mechanic told me that this car requires 6 quarts of oil (my 5.7 V8 camaro doesn't even take 6 quarts of oil) I showed him the manual and he said "Oh!" I have to remenber that next time. I went to the manager and requested someone else drain the extra quart of oil, so I don't blow any seals. and the service manager ended up doing it himself!

Your car takes about 5 qts, rear main seal leaks at your mileage are rare, check for clogged blowby system and sludging.
