Good Afternoon,

2004 RX330 / 112K - Just had the timing belt, water pump and tensioners replaced; now and I am now the proud owner of an oil leak off of the right side of the motor. Never saw an oil drip before the repair.

Is there any possible relation between the above repair a the brand new shinny oil spot on my garage floor..?????

Yes there is a relationship. First thing is to take it back to the shop that did it unless you and a buddy did it. You'll really need to take the timing cover off to see for sure. It could be the crank seal oil pump seal, etc. Do you know if any gaskets were changed.

Thanks for the reply, I'm usually a DYI'er, not this time. I did have a shop here in Denver that specializes in Lexus / Toys do the job.

I made sure that I saw the pile of parts after they were done with the job, no seals or gaskets in the pile, should there have been? Are both of these seals something that can be done with relative ease?

Thanks Again.....

The camshaft and crank seals require the removeal of the timing belt again. Inspect first, maybe it is residue from oil change.... Also if they did job and didnt tell you of any oil leaks shame on them.
