Curious at what point our cars will begin leaking oil on the floor. If anyone has a leak problem, please state the year /model and mileage when the leak first occured and where the leak is coming from. Wonder if there would be any pattern.

 

My car was leaking tranny fluid from the behind.. I drive a 2002 GS300. I took my car in to the dealer and they had to replace a whole new tranny and torque converter. My car at the time of the problem had 12K miles.

 

I've got a 98 GS4 with 64K on it, and not a drop yet.. (knock on wood)..

 

90k GS400 no leaks, 260k SC400 no leaks, 240k SC300 no leaks

 

90K on mine with no leaks, but I was told I might be burn oil I think they want to make some quick cash!!!!!

 

Main seal went at 42K. Lucky I noticed the tiny red drops before they turned into a big red puddle. Repairs covered by warranty, no new problems [leak wise] in the last 18K.

 

No leaks on my car , 98 GS .

Redgs4 - Just wanted to say your car is looking great , and i can't wait for all my items to get in , so it can look as good as yours .

Love the Volks .

 

I just got my car back from the delearship and I notice that there is some type of oil or trany leak in my garage. I wonder what it might be.

 

Mark is the leak comming from the rear of the car? If yes i would take it back to the dealer and have them check. For me, i found a spot of oil from the rear and i took it to the dealer and they found out that my tranny was leaking, to solve this problem, the dealer had to replace a new tranny, and new torque corverter for my car. THey also found out that my clutch was also burned out. While u still have warranty, i would take it back immediately.

It was coming from the front of the car. It happen after I took the car to the dealership for it 49,000 mile maintenance.

 

Valve cover gasket (driver side only) on my 99 GS400 got a leak at 60K. No drops on the floor but oil on the enginer. Repaired under warranty. Now at 75K the new gasket is leaking.

 

I just started to leak oil at 61000 miles on my 97 LS400 dealer replaced oil pan gasket but still leaking oil so I will bring it back on Monday after work to find out whats leaking. PS Driveway may be an expensive repair also $5000 of bricks to replace.

 

Only thing that drips out the bottom of my 98 GS300 is condensation from the air-con evaporator! Though I'm sure that petrol (gas) must be leaking out from somewhere every time I get on a nice flat smooth piece of road where there are no police or cameras around!

 

64k on mine, nothing leaking so far.

 

Finally got to the bottom of the oil leak. A piece of road debris I hit doing about 60 on a dark road took out one tire and the oil pan itself. Prestige Lexus took GREAT CARE of me!!!
