Lexus Rx oil leak

[Lexux]

Hello,

My Rx300 (120K miles) has been leaking oil(?) for a while. I have been reading posts in the forum and I guess it is the rear seal?

Last time I got my oil changed they used synthetic oil and I heard that oil is more likely to leak if there are any problems with the seals (it was not leaking before). Should I go back to regular oil next time to see what happens?

Sorry for the crappy pictures and thank you beforehand

no one? :(

Could be, but also it could be oil spillage from the filler running down the block...Some have used Auto RX (sold online) and the seal has been brought back to life.  I personally have not done this.  I never had any leakage even at 187k miles on my RX300 (1999), but I kept all maintenance to the better side and used synthetic throughout the cars life.

thank you once again lenore :)

Good to know that it might be the filter.

I will get it checked next time I get the oil change done.

I didn't mean the filter I meant the filler cap area.  Sometimes the oil flows over the valve cover and seaps down between engine and transmission.

ooops, I misread it. That shows how much I know about engines xD

thanks again
