Damn thats really suprising there gonna fix it. Did you ask the dude who installed them if he remembered seeing the oil before install?

i don't think so, because i took the car to him for the check up, he said it is because of too low on AWD...

Truthfully there is no reason for that to leak being "Too low" . My car is also lower than yours.

that is what tommy said...being an AWD...if it's too low, it will give too much pussure to the front axle..and that inner boot can't hold it while it always pushing up....that's why it leaks....
please correct me if im wrong, because i just heard from somebody.

Your wrong. Looks like your front end sits atleast 1/2" higher than mine and majority of others ive seen. And ive never seen that problem occur.

i just had my BC coilovers installed over a week ago on my 3GS AWD and having the same problem - except on both sides (inner boots). I hope my dealer in Vegas is as nice as Longo.

i got 6k miles on my AWD since i dropped it and my boots are good even with all the jacked up roads we have out here in Mass.

I think the installer needs to make sure not to have the axles hang loose when installing the coilovers.

When you install them and remove the axles the dead weight hanging off the end of the axle can pull the boot and stress the retainer clip.

Make sure to keep this in mind and tell the installer.

went to the dealer, the only one in Las Vegas, and they are blaming the altered suspension as to the reason for the leaking. They inspected the clips and the boots and said they were fine, except for the fact that the position of the axle is putting too much pressure on the inner boot.

My leaks aren't as bad as the OP, but I think after a month or so it will get worse. I'm thinking about taking it to an independent lexus dealer for a second opinion.

Perhaps because your car is still pretty new? The OP and mine are 2006. Don't these boots typically wear out around 50-70K on factory suspensions?

No. The boots on my '93 Supra with 150k miles are still the original boots.
