Hi Friends -
Follow-on question: I've got a nice low-mileage LX450 at Slee right now getting some work baselining done. They say the rear main seal has a leak (supposedly common). It's a $1k repair -- $850 of labor removing the transmission to install a $60 gasket. Is this something worth doing? I realize it's not an immediate problem, but what's the general consensus.
(a) Fix the Rear Main seal, it'll last another 20 years or (b) leave it alone - no big deal, too expensive.
Thanks guys,
- Spence
