2008 TOYOTA SEQUOIA 5.7L. Live in Pennsylvania, cold weather
Before I have a mechanic come out and charge me 175.00 diagnostic fee. I wanted to ask you guys first.
I drive the vehicle daily 100 miles per day, the vehicle works perfectly fine did not ever overheat, never at all.
Never gave me an indication if something was wrong. Gauges all fine, I change the oil/filter every 3 months royal purple oil.
Then I parked the vehicle and me/wife left for about 30 days to visit family in warmer state in a different car.
Upon coming back jumped in vehicle, vehicle wouldn't start so I had battery recharged and then started it up and drove to my garage about 25 minutes away from my house.
Vehicle started making a noise sounding like it was coming from middle of vehicle a rumbling noise and so I pulled into my garage checked oil dipstick, oil is a quart low, when I pulled oil cap this is what I saw...
It does not over heat never did. I even left car running for 30 minutes with hood open looking for leaks or anything else nothing. Coolant level is fine. Makes no sense. and motor was not hot.
Again before I have mechanic come out neighbor told me could be blown head gasket or motor gone.
Thought about draining oil but oil on dipstick looks fine.
