I get my oil change at the Toyota dealership instead of Lexus and save quite a bit of money for my 2013 ES350. At the 30k service, Toyota technician said he noticed transmission fluid leaking at the axle seal." I was gonna show Lexus this at some point, or maybe get an oil change there at the 40k service.

Is there any list of TSBs for our Lexus ES somewhere, like other enthusiast sites? I tried searching and couldn't find it. Google search came up spotty.

would a leaking axle seal be covered under warranty? and did the tech show you where it was leaking? or is he just trying to get more business?

Since it was a Toyota dealer, they recommended me to "show it to Lexus." So I doubt he was trying to get more business.

I would definitely think any drivetrain part is covered under warranty.

We had the same issue with our 2013 ES 350. With about 25,000 miles, I noticed a small pool of transmission fluid on the garage floor. I wiped it up and waited a day to see if it's reoccurring. The next day, there was a little more fluid on the ground. I called the dealer, and that same day they sent a tow truck and towed it back to their shop at their expense. The service tech said it's a seal around the axle connecting to the transmission. I asked the service tech if there was a TSB. No, and this was the first time that he has seen this before. The car was still under warranty. At the time there probably was not enough incidents to create a TSB. I would have it looked at immediately. .
