So did doing those things fix the problem? How long has it been?

Remember that when you install many mods, you, too "rip apart" the car. And we've all seen all the issues posted on this forum from doing that.

Actually, the technician took photos that showed the leak path. It was not coming from a weep hole.

Those do look like special tools!

So the nut needs to be enlarged by heat application to be able to spin on the threads?

The tech didn't go into details about the tools that he ordered, but for sure, I'll pay attention to anything out of the ordinary when I get the car back.

What's wrong with it? ?

Corrected, thanks!

You must have connections. :thumbsup:

Side note: While my ScanGauge is plugged in with the car on, the auto stop/start feature is disabled - a definite plus!

I spoke to the Supra-certified technician at the dealership. He told me that this is the first time over the past 4+ years that a Supra needs a new diff input shaft seal. So no, this was not from an overfilled diff. The good news is that I have a free-to-use top-of-the-line Crown hybrid. The...

Well, I hope you guys are correct in that the leak is not due to a failed component. I should know by 10:00 AM (PST), tomorrow. If it is due to just an overflow of differential fluid, the manual should state the possibility of this happening, should the factory continue to overfill. Ideally, the...

US and German corporations? Perhaps, but my experience has shown that even the smallest things are important to many Japanese companies.

Not anything that your car has anymore, so no worries there. ;)

Toyota paid a survey company to spend 20 minutes with me to rate and pinpoint areas for improvement. Why would they do that if they don't care? I've worked with Japanese engineers and they should be giving lessons to US and German auto company engineers. They consider their reputation to be very...

I I just received a call, yesterday about a Supra survey for Toyota. It was about 20 minutes long and included quite a few thoughts. I called back, today to add the diff leak information because Toyota needs to hear the good and bad about ownership. While I was working full time, I had attended...

...but not while the car is under warranty?;)

I can see why; the warranty department would have a field day! :)
