Just bought a 2014 1794 with 90,000 miles from an individual. Sadly just found out it has a rear main seal leak! $1,800 for dealer to fix. No help from Toyota yet. Any advice? Rich
Sorry a little off topic here but you probably paid around $30k for the truck? Why didn't you just use that as down payment and got a brand-new 1794? Could've avoided all the issues and have a few years of warranty to go with it. Just makes more sense to me.Just bought a 2014 1794 with 90,000 miles from an individual.

Ok people chill, I was really just wondering if anyone had had any problems with their rear main seal leaking on their brand new Tundra or 50 year old one. I am ready and willing to shell out the cash to getting it repaired correctly. Thanks
Who's fault is it that you bought a used truck and it has issues?Just bought a 2014 1794 with 90,000 miles from an individual. Sadly just found out it has a rear main seal leak! $1,800 for dealer to fix. No help from Toyota yet. Any advice? Rich
Clearly you didn't get the "chill” memo old manWho's fault is it that you bought a used truck and it has issues?
unfortunately your going to have to bite the bullet and get it fixed and hope that this is the only issue that comes up. There not going to help why would they it has 90,000 miles on it. Toyotas are reliable but they do wear out parts eventually.Just bought a 2014 1794 with 90,000 miles from an individual. Sadly just found out it has a rear main seal leak! $1,800 for dealer to fix.

True. Lemon Laws vary from state to state. At the very least if the seller violated the law he will be forced to reimburse you for the repairs.Yeah, I'm on the OP's side here, from what I got out of the story, the private seller f*cked him by wiping the oil clean when he looked at the Truck, and then after the sale the OP finds out he needs $1800 worth of work to what I can assume was probably still a $30k + dollar purchase. I'd be pissed if it was me in those shoes...
To the OP, if you were in Mass, any oil leak or fluid leak of any kind is grounds for a failed inspection. Any and all used vehicles must be sold in a "passable" state, and if they don't pass inspection, the sale can be reversed or the seller can be held responsible for helping or paying in full for the repair.
Where are you and what are your "lemon" laws? In Mass, even though everyone calls it the lemon law, its the "Used Vehicle Owner Warranty Rights Act". Do you know your rules in your state? Did you have to have the vehicle inspected after the sale?
