Exact same issue on my 2018 4R Limited.

Handled under warranty.

Happened with under 25K miles on it.

Thank you for your reply, i hope never happen again.

Just bought a 21 GX last week and has the ppi done showing this same leak...14k miles. Both Indy ppi place and Lexus dealer says they are starting to see more of these. Took 3 days to repair.

just 14k miles...leaking? Another TAKATA AIRBAG? Lexus need to do more for us.

Just an FYI

The Torsen Diff (VF4BM) used in '10-'22 460 is also used in 4th Gen 4R (2003-2009) w/V8 as well as 5th Gen Limited models (2010-2022)

What do you think the cost would be out of warranyt?

albert333

No idea about that, look like $30 part plus labor hours.

stilleni30

I read somewhere between 1-2k d/t labor hours as mentioned. Plus skill level isn't as high since they're not doing them daily, thus takes even longer

This was mine btw

One week passed, still not done yet, the service advisor told me still waiting for the parts...seals
​​​​​​​Is it normal?

interesting and thanks for sharing. i happen to have an 06 V8 4Runner in addition to the GX. Good to know I have a spare TC in the garage if i ever need it =)

I'm the OP here. This also happened to my brother's '16 GX460 as well, less than 28k miles and Lexus fixed it for free

stilleni30

My worry is with all these early failures getting fixed now... Will this happen again in another 20-40K miles or is it possible the human installation in a hot dealer garage is better than the factory install of these seals?

I wondered the same thing on my Porsche 991.2 which has the omnipresent water pump leak that so many others have had (I also had it on my Audi Q7)... They get fixed at 10-20k miles and makes me wonder if it will just leak again in the same number of miles when the warranty is out?

albert333

Got my car back, 10 days, two seals changed, for free, it will be happened again? I got an answer "it's hard to say..."

Anyone have issues with their GX leaking oil? I have a 2015 that I bought in January which was dealer maintained every 6 months interval service and ever had a oil leak fix recommendation. I took it to Toyota for my first oil change and the engine, transmission and transfer case is leaking oil. They did provide photos and it is moist in all the areas they have recommended a oil leak check. I have never had a problem with a Toyota or Lexus leaking any oil prior nor have I read up on it. Anyone have experience with this in their GX?
