All of them appear to have it - its inherent to the motor.....its not a deal breaker, but something that shows up with mileage.

Not necessarily. I had it resealed on my 2014 with only 49k miles.

Old myth that has been debunked over the last several years. Check the other threads about valley plate leaks. Usually that or busted radiator is the culprit.

Not just this, but other 2UR configurations are having the same valley plate issue. Fundamentally, it's a design flaw. They should have done this differently.

My 13 had it resealed very early in its life. Like a few years old. Hopefully I’ll never have to do it again, but who knows.
