2008 LX570 oil & coolant leak (1 Viewer)

Ok, so I have both an oil and a coolant leak.

To be honest for the past year I have noticed once in a while a drop of oil in my garage but left it alone as it was not bug, but now that I have a coolant leak might address both.

Here are are some pics so all you brilliant minds cam help me diagnose.

I also found the thread on the radiator leak and although it does not apply to me yet I did see a bit of a line forming on radiator around the piece they stamp with part number. I am going to layer some carbon fiber on it. I figure it ia a mo regret move.

My initial thoughts on oil leak is that it is coming from the engine oil pan gasket as I cant see any limes from above it only spray from where water and dirt may have pushed oil up.

The coolant dont know yet. I ordered a bore scope from amazon as I want to look at all sides of engine without taking anything apart. For sure it looks like coolant is coming from above but I cant see from top any leaks. I did order replacement caps in case for radiator and reservoir.

Besides that everything running well.

Peek under the head with a flashlight, the valley plate leak is super common on these. Both my 2008 and 2014 had it.

Thanks. I know that is one possibility especially at 173k miles.

I just received bore scope today
