New motor

Same thing happened to a guy who worked for me on his 02 at a dealership. Old oil filter gasket was the culprit.

However the dealer tried to cheap out & give him a new head & cam. He knew nothing about cars & brought it by for me to listen to. Sounded like crap. They screwed around with it some more & sent him on his way. A week later the thing fried on the highway. That was actually a good thing, he ended up forcing them to pay full KBB price towards a 04' trade.

As much as the dealers can suck, I'd rahter pay $10 more for an oil change there, than at junky lube or some where else. If you had a catastrophe due to their fault I'd rather be dealing with Toyota.

Glad everything worked out!
