Poor Gas Mileage Overnight
20

Asked by KeithWeast Nov 09, 2017 at 02:41 PM about the 2007 Toyota Avalon Touring

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

About two weeks ago my homeowner pointed out
my car was leaking what looked like oil. I had
moved my car since she had pointed out. I went to
investigate and saw what you see in the picture. It is
a tar like substance. Must have been very hot.
Which i have noticed my car blows more hot than
usual, i think, but no difference in the temperature
gauge. I purchased the car back in june with $1000
worth of tedious problems later. Auction guaranteed
with all problems following after experations.
Perfect, now this. Previously I had been getting
around 27.5-34 MPG. I do have pictures. Now even
with just highway traffic I get 21.5.

Does anyone have a sudjestion on what to do or
what the problem is? Would be very greatfull.

The bottom of my engine has the stock plastic cover underneath. I looked a little and didnt see any type of leak. The leak was dead center under the engine. Previous mpg PR attached.
