I just noticed a small leak on my 1995 SC300, with aprox 91,600 miles on it.

I think its oil, im not sure where its coming from yet, its finals week and I wont get a chance to look at it till saturday.

Angry I leaked................

My extended car warrenty finished at 100,000 miles.

At 103,000 miles there was a leak and the rear main seal had to be replaced. Cost $875.00.

Then at 105,000 miles, found a leak in the interior of my car, water from the evaporator, the seal is leaking. I have been told by the Lexus Master mechanic that this is a lexus GS thing and it will happen around 100k or so miles. The cost with labor is going to be $3000!!!! At least kiss me first.......................

Angry Main Seal

93,500 and the rear main seal has begun to leak. Lots of sludge at the oil cap. Wondering if the sludge is keeping seal from being properly lubricated?

All cars leak after enough miles/years. Main difference for me [I'm at about 85K] is I'm usually getting rid of cars at this mileage. With my GS, I expect to get another 80K.

Yeah, before I get tired of the car. I expect it to still be running strong.
