Common Oil Leaks 1993 Sc400

[zeppelin2k]

I just bought a 1993 lexus sc 400, and I was wondering it has a minor leak, also a bit from the exhaust, what could it be? any guesses?

You need to get it up in the air and check it out. It Could be the High Pressure Hose from the Power Steering to the Rack. My 1992 SC400 was leaking and it was this hose. To buy one from Lexus is Very expensive. If that is your problem, look for a Hydralic Hose repair center in your city/town. I got mine fixed for $48.00.

Another leak Could be the Power steering pump itsself. You really need to get that fixed quickly. That is above the alternator and Can short it out. Thus you would have to replace both the Altenator and the Power steering pump.

When you get the car 'up in the air' you will need to remove the cover under the engine to see where the leak is.

I just looked at it tonight on the lift, definately oil. It looks the rear main seals. I only have 112k on it, should they go bad this early?
