I'll list the state of the car at the time this was noticed:
Owned for 3 weeks. I drove it a lot for the break-in miles. Hadn't used launch control up to that point.
~1600 miles (memory)
100% Stock (at the time)
Description:
On the day of install for my first two mods (catless downpipe/tune), the shop I had my car at and I inspected the car before the installation of the downpipe, this is how we found the leak. Fortunately the leak is small, but unfortunately it doesnt occur when the car is motionless (in my experience) otherwise I would've seen it on my garage floor. It looks like it sprays a thin film of fluid at whatever is behind the drain plug. We dont yet know how much fluid was lost. My car (as of today) went into the dealership to examine the issue.
So far I've heard from 3 other MKV owners that have the same leaking problem and location. I'm waiting to hear what the dealership says about it. I'm looking for anyone else who has identified this issue with their car to post about it below, and if they've had resolution with the dealership for it.
Thanks!
*update - 11/16/19 - I spoke with the dealership yesterday, so far their only solution is to replace the drain plug (which they have to source because apparently there wasn't a Toyota part number for it yet). I'll report back the day after it's plugged (Wednesday), and a week after to share if it worked or not.
