Oil Line Leak For Vvti
2007 Toyota Camry
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Toyota dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: An increasing number of Toyotas are experiencing excessive oil consumption and the 2007 Camry seems to be leading the charge.
Owners are reporting that their engines are deprived of oil halfway through their maintenance schedules and in some cases the damage is so bad that entirely new engines need to be installed, paid out of pocket. The issue may be a result of defective piston rings.
Toyota has issued a TSB for this problem, but maintains their stance that vehicles equipped with a 2AZ-FE engine are burning through a “normal†amount of oil.

Heard a jackhammer sound under the hood. Immediately drove home dripping oil. Next day there was massive oil under the engine. Towed to Toyota dealer; they replaced the oil hose no charge. They claim no damage due to loss of oil.
Update from Dec 15, 2014: This should be a Recall, not a simple "Service Campaign" (as it was). Otherwise many people will attempt to drive to the Toyota dealer with no oil whatsoever. The engine could seize while driving and who knows what happens after that.
