I'd get a third opinion, take it to another independent mechanic, and whichever one he agrees with is right.

Even if it is the rear main seal, don't let the dealership do it it'll cost way too much.

SW03ES,

Hi Lexual ,

It was nice to hear from you that you did on your own, but I don't know how to do it, how complex it is and what are all the tool that I required to do it.I have poor knowledge in auto industry ,but still I m interested to learn do it on my own.

--Thanks,

Hi ,

I have 1998 lexus es 300 at 85 k on it ,I changed the transmission fluid at 80,000 k on it ,after that I feel little burning smell and took back to the mechanic and he told me ,there is a small amount of oil drop on exhaust system and it may go off after a while.I didn't feel the smell after a while ,but there is a light leak I am finding some times i.e couple of oil spots on the ground underneath of engine.I took to he same mechanic for check once again ,this time he told me there is a light leak in oil needs to be replaced oil pane gascut.Then I took to the dealer ,and he said there is no problem in oil gascut ,there is a slight leak in rear main seal and he gave the quote for to change is $760 + tax .I don't know to whom I beleive at this point ,but I am running my car like that almost 5000 miles later.So I am totally confused at this time to whom I have to beleive.Could you please suggest me ?
