Hi all,
I am hoping you can please give me some advice. I am looking at buying my first Prado. This one is not the tidiest Prado on the block, however it runs and drives pretty well, it's at 230k, and has no documented service history. There is an oil leak coming from the turbo, it is from the back of the front impeller housing, don't think it was from the drain. Do you have an ideas if this could be detrimental to the ongoing serviceability of this vehicle, what could be the exact origin of this leak, and would it be fixable by the handyman mechanic (me)? There's a couple of other leaks including small leak mid gearbox area. TIA, Mike.
