Need help for starter on SC300
I can't find the starter in my SC300, I know it's on the driver side, but the only thing i see, that is remotely close to what the starter looks like, leaks oil when I remove any of the screws. This part that leaks oil is right under the oil filter. Somebody help me please.
NM, found it. Just havin a hard time getting it off now.

Whoo hoo, rebuilt the starter and now the car starts perfectly, took me about 2 days to do the whole thing, now i know why they charge ~$400 in labor to replace it.

Hehe, glad it was all figured out. Just be happy you don't have one of the older style mountings like on the pre-90 7M-GTE where rather than the housing being threaded, there was actually a nut on the other side.
btw, nothing beats the original Denso starter. No aftermarket starter will last nearly as long.
