Update
Thanks for all advice thus far.
Saturday morning I called the dealership, they were expecting me and gave me a phone number for a tow at their expense. When I pulled up to the dealership in the tow truck the service foreman was waiting in the parking lot. I told him what had happened, he said they would find the cause of the leak and go from there. I told him I was extremely concerned and wanted to see everything he finds, I had a cameracase on my waist and a camcordeer bag on my shoulder. 30 minutes later he finds me in the lobby, they had doubled up on the oil gasket. He said that he draine about a quart of oil out before refilling it. He told me he was going to run it for a while, drain the oil, and that we would inspect it together. About an hour later he finds me and we go back to shop, the oil is in a pan and the double casket oil filter is there. There is metal shavings in the oil and he says there is no way of telling if they are new or from the existing 98k miles on the motor. I voice my concerns and the opinion of my mechanic, 'demand a new motor', and he suggests that I take a Sienna home to TN and let him tear into the motor next week to assess the damage.
Very professional so far IMO. My concern is the assessment of damage to existing. I bought the truck 2 monthes and do not know if the 90k has been done. It was a lease and is extremely clean which tells me it was taken care of.
