I've been looking at some '94 & '95 es300s, and have noticed what looks like corrosion on the valve cover/oil fill covers, just forward of the oil fill plug. When I pointed this out to two different dealers, they both shrugged it off as being of no significance (big surprise huh?). It almost looks like it could have been a bad casting, but I can't see Toyota using a defective mold. Has anyone noticed this before and am I worried about nothing? I noticed it on a '94 with 70K miles and also on a '95 with 90K miles. Thanks.
