2000 Rx300 Rear Main Seal

[Holmes4112]

I bought a used RX about 2 weeks ago. Many thanks to the forum for helping me to look for problem areas with the RX. I took a look under the car and sure enough a small amount of oil in the rear main seal area. Oil is leaking in such a small amount (not enough to show on the driveway) I may not have noticed it until many miles later most likely after the 70K Lexus powertrain warranty. Thanks!!

Glad you found this forum helpful - there are a number of folks here who know what they're talking about. Go get it fixed under warranty. Replacing a rear main seal and having to pay for it out of your own pocket will set you back about $1,100 at the typical Lexus service department. I'm sure you'll greatly enjoy not having to spend that money to fix your problem....
