Oil Leak
Has anyone that has had the timing cover leak, had it fixed from the dealer without the warranty covering it. If so, how much was it, how long did it take and did it stop?
Also is there another place that can do it?

Considering the age of these cars, I doubt many of them have a warranty at all unless you purchased an aftermarket one at the time of sale.
Any shop can repair a timing cover leak, it's just a matter of finding a reputable one that can do it at a good cost. The dealer is just going to give you an astronomically high number for their quote to do it.

Our RX has been a troublesome vehicle...aforementioned timing cover leak, VVTi rattle on startup, high pressure oil cooler hose ruptured, dumping a ton of oil, lucky didn't destroy the engine. Air conditioning refrigerant leaking from evaporator, entire dash needs to come out to fix, so I just recharge system periodically. Not all Lexus vehicles are reliable I guess. I'm not impressed with the 2GR-FE engine design, based on my personal experience with it.
