Thanks for the advice. I got a new drain plug from toyota dealership, drained the oil out, put in the new plug and gasket, put in fresh oil, and all is good so far. From now on I'm a DIY guy. Which means I'll be back here plenty! Thanks for all the help.

i'm getting that idea more and more. my car's in really good shape, near pristine, little nicks and stuff here and there. i am not really mechanically inclined at all. i'm a smart guy and all, i just never did work on cars. i have a buddy who does it so i'm gonna start doing my own oil changes. i'll start there and see how much i can learn. thanks for the info guys this forum is unbelieveable.

I have a 92 LS400 and it's one of the sweetest cars i've ever driven, definitely the best i've ever owned. i've had for a couple of months and haven't had a problem, except i just noticed the drain plug in the oil pan has a slow leak, but i'm not overreacting as it seems like a simple fix (suggestions welcome). Besides little things like the lcd clock cluster, and common stuff, everything works. I love how everything is so solid and feels like it will be there forever. I love how it feels so strong and sturdy, put together so much better. I have sirius radio, and i had a 99 civic that i could just pull the molding down and run antenna wire wherever i wanted. with the lex, i had to have it professionally done just because it was so solid, not a loose panel or stitch, and i didn't wanna mess it up. i love how it rides wicked smooth, excellent cruising car, but when it needs to get up and go, it'll blow away most cars on the road. i love how brand new cars on the road have very little if anything on the lex as far as options and performance. i love the body style and look, and i love knowing that if i take care of her, she'll take care of me. that's just a little of what i love about my lexus

Wow i love this site. I had a jiffy lubel type place do it, so i have no clue if they even did it at all. I'm gonna take it back and have them look at it. Thanks for the reply I'll post the news.

92 LS400 145000 miles. I just noticed a very small leak coming from what seems to be the oil drain plug. i gave it a couple turns with a wrench, and it did nothing. knowing that i can't turn the plug too much so not to ruin the pan. it's not a lot of oil, the dipstick still reads full. need a quick cheap fix. any suggestions?
