Beware some GS300/350 and IS are starting to leak.

Dec 06 and Jan 07 production
Can someone please confirm whether any GS350s were built in December and January? We've got November and February covered in this thread, so if indeed no cars were built in Dec and Jan, something might be suspicious...
Starstreak, were you able to check your garage floor? I sure hope it wasn't oil!

Here we going with the paranoia!
My car is an IS350 I've barely got 6 months on it and it already has 10.5k miles on it. No oil leaks yet, however!! At my next oil change I will have this looked into.

If I see a drop of anything on my polymer garage floors I am definitely going to remove my wheels, tint and raise the car up. Then, I will take it to the dealer for warranty service and sell or trade-in the car. Any car with less than 6k miles that leaks from the engine block is totally unacceptable!

This is the issue I didn't think it effected the ES but turns out it must. I just saw this post on the ES forum. This is the exact same problem and this is where it leaks from.

I hope that is the case, but I have to say that, based on some stuff I've been reading here lately, the ownership experience some people are having with their ES350s is reminding me of the sad days I had as an Acura owner some years ago.
If this turns out to be true (and I do hope it does not), it will erode my confidence in the company. This is not the kind of issue that should take close to 2 years across multiple platforms to identify. Again, that said, I hope there is no issue, because I do love our Lexus cars and want to remain a customer.
