If you notice a leak in the timing cover of your 2012 Toyota Prius, it's likely coming from either the timing cover gasket or a small crack in the cover itself. If the cover is cracked, you'll need to replace the entire component. However, if the leak is from the gasket, you might be able to fix it with some high-quality gasket maker for smaller leaks. For larger or damaged areas of the gasket, it's best to replace the entire gasket to ensure a proper fix.
