My 1997 LX (113K) received great inspection reports from both Toyota and my mechanic. Both listed only one issue. The seal that connects the back of the engine and the front of the tranny is leaking. Toyota said "it's sweating" and isn't a big deal. My mechanic said it looks a bit wet and we should clean it off good then watch it. He thinks if we need to replace it the tranny, driveshaft and t-case all come out.
I couldn't search because I don't know what seal this is. Is this a big deal? If we replace it does the tranny and t-case come out as one unit?
