either valve cover gasket or front main seal. Either way, not super cheap.

what about the leak on the differential

jcat_350

sorry, too distracted by big pics lol. Possibly diff cover seal, maybe even the seal around the input shaft.

It could come from alot of places.. Did u clean the timing belt or is it new? That's kind of hard without being there in person. Maybe, u should take pics from about 2-ft. instead of 5-in. away. Just keep in mind that when your driving the oil is going too run(fly) everywhere. Maybe u should clean(wash) all the oil up. Then u might be able to narrow it down. Hope that help! GL

i already did that and had my timing belt change recently and i cleaned everything now its wet again so i hope someone in here can narrow it down for me thanks

my responses are the most likely culprits.


engine bay:

-front main seal (should have done at same time as timing belt)

-Valve Cover Seal

Diff:

-diff cover, and input shaft seal.

Crank seal is leaking best to replace cam seals at same time replacment should be a 4 to 6 hour work shop job

Radiator out covers off remove cambelt replace crank seal and cam seals should have been done same time as water pump and cambelt replacment

Info to change cambelt and crank seal can be found here

Agreed.. I had this same issue when I changed the crank pulley and did not have a good seal. Thought it was something else like a cam seal but it was not...get a new timing belt too...

I have a 01' GS430 and has a semi-common rear differential front pinion seal leak. I had one on my 00' 400, and and so did my friends, however he now has a 430, which doesn't. I used to work at Toy/Lex, it's more common than people thing. As far as the engine leak, I would Guess it's a Cam/Crank seal, but I don't have a 2J, so I'm no expert there.

front pinion! thats the term i was looking for

GSRSRT

thanks guys soo much but to answer some of your questions i have a new timing belt and a new water pump i told the mechanic to change the seals but i guess he didn't do it so yea now i have to do it my self or find someone that can do it for me at a reasonable price. by the way I'm 23 years old and i got this lex last year in January from an old man and i don't really know people who can work on Lexus cars or help me out am by my self on this so all your opinions will really help me out a lot
