Rear Main oil leak?

Well it was the rear main as mentioned earlier, but the mechanic had already knocked off by the time I arrived to pick it up. The bloke in the office was pointing towards the seal being damaged before or during installation. If that's the cause I'll be pretty happy, I suppose the next 15000k's will be very closely watched!

Cheers,

Hi dusty, all
I have just found the same leak I am at 50,000 km and Toyota have said the same thing ( clean and drive if for a couple of days) but I have to drive to 3000ks on Wednesday so will b watching it very closely

Your heading up here from memory aren't you? You could have it done up here obviously but no-one wants to be without their rig for two days on holiday! Just for info mine's a Sep 11 build, was hoping to put it down to bad batch of seals? Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Dusty

I am actually moving to Townsville and got Toyota here to clean it down and write me a report so it's not too bad. I have been watching it for the last four days and it seems okay ( no drips on the ground) but I have the v6, dunno if they have the same rear main.

On a side note, since your moving up this way, make sure you check out 4x4playfnq. Plenty of like minded blokes from Mackay to Cairns on a friendly forum.
