Rear main seal leak due to crankshaft rear main seal leaking at 73,000 km. Got it repaired, but now I am getting leaks that look like it is antifreeze from near the front passenger side wheel area. Does anyone know what might be causing this before I take it back to the dealer and have them tell me I need to pay for something else.
Smooth ride, but now I am starting to get worried about potential transmission problems and this rear main seal problem.
Yes, same rear engine seal leak at 68,700 miles on my '99 RX300. Obviously a design flaw. I contacted Lexus and they 'respectfully declined' to assist. Cost to me was $1,600. Cost to Lexus: short-term: $0, long-term: no more RX for me (I was going to get another one within a month) and letting my friends know that Lexus' design is not good, and that they don't stand behind their product: probably 3-4 cars over the next two years. We're both on the losing side.
