Oil Leak (Photo)

Hi, I have a RX400H 2009 with a slight oil leak as shown in photo.

Just wanted some guidance please?  Can this can be fixed?

Many thanks.

Paul.

Is your photo dripping oil between the engine and gearbox I wonder. (Where the engine and gearbox join together)  If so it may be the rear crankcase oil seal.  If it is that oil seal it's an engine out job.  The leak doesn't look that heavy or are you topping up regularly? Also is your engine a V6  which are great engines but the engine has a common oil leak from the timing cover where two mating surfaces meet. 

This video deals with RX oil leaks, it might assist you.  This guy is a Guru on Lexus and Toyota cars.  Brilliant Tech guy.   The engine is used in Toyota and Lexus models.

Many thanks for your help. 

Yes it is dripping between the engine and gearbox. I don't need to top up it's only a small leak. Excellent video!! That does seem to explain my problem. Thanks again for your help 👍

The video is of a different engine to the 3mzfe? A 3.3 litre in the 400H

Directing Paul to the Car Care Nut  was merely to let him see how useful this Youtuber is in terms of knowledge about Lexus and Toyota engines.  I bow  to your knowledge of engine models.    I have commented on some of his stuff and he always replies in the comments section.
