Suspension problem
2007 Toyota Camry 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a 2007 Camry with less than 45k miles. I brought it in for an oil change (not at toyota) and was told my front struts were leaking oil. I brought it to toyota because this should be covered under my warranty and was told that they measure the leakage on a scale from one to five (five being okay one being bad) and toyota will not replace the struts until they are leaking at a two. Is this normal? Should struts be leaking at all? Should I pay to have them replaced or should I wait until they are replaceable under toyota warranty rules?

I would take it to another dealer. If it is under warranty then they HAVE to replace it. You have to check to see if you struts are under warranty or not.
