Re: Rav 4 Oil Pump
On my 07' RAV4 just got rid of, there was oil gaskets leaking a small amount of oil, but no abnormal noises. The water pump also was leaking fluides at the same time on the V6 engine. So, I did not want to deal with anymore issues, so got rid of it - good riddens! Best of luck trying to find out what inside the engine is damaged, especially if like you say the engine is not leaking or low on oil/pressure, etc.. I won't keep a vehicle if only after 2 years and 27K of driving there is 2 major problems with an engine because who knows what else will go wrong with it after warranty if the engine cannot even last 2 years without major problems like mine. They claim it is not typical for oil gaskets and water pumps to leak fluids after only 2 years and being well taken care of. I just think I got one engine with poor quality parts from the factory - my luck of course.
