Anyone has a leaky transmission fluid pan?

[Blobbered]

Got it, is it something I should suggest to my service manager? Or just have them figure it out? I would prefer that approach instead of taking a rental/loaner and having the car sit.

What location are you in california? Def tell them it's not a tranny pan gasket leak. That will just be a waste of time of a repair

I’m here in Southern California, nearest dealer is Crown Toyota

Part Qty: 1 Part #: 34780WAA01 Part Desc: YOKE ASSY, FLANGE
Just tell them to order this+tools. Super common issue

Got it thank you, I’ll point them in this direction.

I figured that was what was leaking after the transpan didn't fix the leak. Very common issue on the CTS-V as well for that same seal to leak. I looked up the Removal installation in the workshop manual and it doesn't look too bad... Drop the drive shaft, remove the trans crossmember, take the nut off the back of the yoke, pull out seal, replace new seal, install yoke, replace with a new yoke nut, torque nut to spec and stake, reinstall trans crossmember and driveshaft...

Well I stopped by the local dealer and attempted to guide them in the direction of it being the Yoke. Service manager talked about how they were the flagship for Supra in Southern California, and since Toyota is across the street from them they are the ones that “develop” the procedure for fixes when it happens.

I have no idea how much he was lying, but he said we got it from here...and refused to take the part number or suggestion.

Wow that is some high octane bullshit - I'm surprised he isn't in sales..

Toyota HQ is in Dallas, Texas so I'm not sure what street he's talking about .

Hoping that they can just ID the issue and sort it out though. Good luck!

Follow up, for anyone that might be taking their vehicle in or concerned.

Dealer did a wipe down last week, and had me drive the car an additional 200 miles. I dropped the car off today for inspection again, they said the leak was minor and only little seepage. They are ordering the gasket for the yoke, and the pan gasket and will be replacing it sometime next week, when the parts come in. The service advisor did confirm that if the car had an equivalent leak as to when I brought it in, the whole transmission would have been replaced.

As in after they replace the yoke seal and the pan gasket, if it still has a leak, they are replacing the trans?

Based on what the advisor said yeah. That’s their game plan

Nothing yet, they were waiting for parts to come in. I guess its delayed due to COVID. I was last informed Tuesday 18th they are expecting the parts.

Hello.

I have experienced a similar issue.
Later found that it was due to improper removal of the engine oil filter.
The oil would drip from the filter casing to the underneath cover and from there it will spread toward the ATM pan on drive.

To confirm remove the underneath cover located right below the engine oil filter and check for any oil.
