I bought my 2010 IS F a couple of years ago and it has not given me any problems at all. A few days ago I noticed a couple of drops of transmission fluid on the garage floor. Not much, but its the first time I have seen that. Yesterday I got underneath it to change the oil (needed to be done anyway) and was trying to look for the source of the leak. I could see that it was coming down and dripping on to the plastic cover under the transmission. Trying to look up to where it was coming from, it looked like it was coming from somewhere on top of the transmission. I don't have the means to dig any further than that so I am going to take it in to the shop, but I was wondering if anyone had seen anything like that before? The car only has 65,000 miles on it, I can't imagine it having transmission problems. Lexus vehicles have always been so reliable for me.

Also, I do not drive the car hard. No track time. Nothing like that. Not even a daily driver. Since I have owned it for 2 years I have put about 8,000 miles on it.

Thanks for any info.

update... it isn't transmission fluid. It is coolant. It looks to be leaking from the heat exchanger block. Probably a bear to get to. I am going to search the forums for that topic.

Thanks! I just spend the last hour or so reading through the thread... looks like exactly what is going on.
