Oil Leak


Recommended Posts

My 2000 gs 300 has small oil leak and I was quoted a large price by a lexus dealer to fix. I am not sure where the leak is occuring. Has anyone else experience a leak at this mileage and if so where was it leaking? Thanks so much.

Thanks for your response. The dealer explained they didn't know where the leak was coming from until they were inside the engine. So I am afraid I don't know where.

on the gs300 it could be from the vvti....or anywhere. take it to a experienced lexus or toyota mechanic. NEVER go to the dealer unless u absolutely have to
