wilfman Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Cookie. I had a similar problem when I first bought mine. The oil seal at the rear of the gearbox is a servicable item and I managed to get my local Toyota dealer to replace it after a bit of hassle. Alternatively Chris Wilson should be able to do this for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
