05 Avalon leak

Hi Guys,

We have a leak in the right front of my dad's Avalon. I remember last year, someone saying 05 Avalon are vulnerable to something leaking or cracking under the hood. Does anybody remember that? Leak seems to be an oily substance.

Thanks
Jerry, NJ

Under the car or in the car? Drivers side or passenger side? Could be clogged AC drain hose.

Hi csaxon,

Right front under the engine. That's all I know right now, but someone said something leaks or cracks under the hood of the 05s

Thanks

Determine if the substance is engine oil by comparing with the oil on the dipstick.

There have been issues with an engine oil line rupture, see link below:
