I have an oil leak so I cleaned the bottom of the car and got the bad news----------below the bottom pulley, there is oil everywhere and I can see it leaking immediately after the cleanup. Didn't see any oil pan, transmission pan leaks or power steering leaks---everything else looked really good---the car had the timing belt, water pump and pulleys replaced 9/21/10 to the insane price $1135 and the part#'s on the receipt are...
13568-59045 Belt, Timing
16100-50023-83 Pump Assy, Water
00272-1LLAC-01 Antifreeze Gallon
96761-24019 Ring, O
96761-35035 Ring, O
96711-19007 Ring, O
13503-0F010 Idler Sub Assy, Timing
13505-50022 Idler Sub-Assy, Timing
13540-50030 Tensioner Assy, Timing
It is also noted on the checklist that the vehicle has an oil leak---there is no mention of suggesting the main seal being replaced---
My first question...Does anyone think I have ANY chance at all in talking to the dealership that did the work and letting them know that they should have replaced the seal? They are the #1 Lexus dealer in the country and should have done a better job---the car has only 4k miles more on it since the work was done and it's only been 5 months
Second and last question...anyone in the LA area and want to let me pay them a reasonable price to do the work and let me help so I get some knowledge of this car and mechanic work in general---I will bring all the parts and can even supply all the tools to do the work---minus the lift---I really need to get this fixed ASAP---the is my daily driver
Thanks in advance guys!
