Found : head gasket oil leak on 2 used 2010 YARIS ... - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hershey · 10-27-2010, 02:49 AM

at TOYOTA dealer lot . Both had less than 5,000 miles . They sold another used 2010 with low mileage and was being picked up by the new owners as we looked at these . Hopefully that didn't have the oil leak as those 2010s , our 2 YARIS ( 2008 sedan and 2010 3 door ) , and a friends 2010 3 door .

The 2010s ( including ours ) with the oil leak were manufactured between AUGUST > OCTOBER of 2009 .

Geez.....I just checked mine and it was manufactured October 2009. I have 2700 miles on it - will this show up underneath on the ground?...right now I see nothing on the cement where my car is always parked.

Being a female, I'm not much in the mood for crawling underneath my car.

My 2010 LB was made in April 2010 (it says 4/10 on the door sticker). I havent checked, but could mine also have this problem?

Hershey · 10-27-2010, 03:32 AM

Yes , it's possible . We just had the head gasket of our 2008 sedan replaced under warranty and no longer leaks oil . Our 2010 still leaks oil from the head gasket , plan to take that in for replacement under the warranty . Could include 2007 > 2010 . 2011 ? . We've notified TOYOTA of JAPAN and corporate offices here ( U.S. ) of the issue and haven't heard a word as of yet .

This was Probably the Reason for the

claim. http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2010/...eliable/2.html

Rockland.. How many head gasket replacements have you seen at your dealership for the Yaris?

Thanks Rockland

I don't think it's a head gasket leak. What you're seeing is probably a valve cover leak. That is a big difference.

A head gasket leak would cause a massive recall by Toyota. A valve cover leak is solved most of the time by tightening the hold down screw or bolt.

You should confirm a head gasket leak with some kind of proof.

Hershey · 10-27-2010, 12:39 PM

It's no B.S.

. They took one of the YARIS into the shop and will be monitoring the leak by driving both for a period of time for oil to build up . This is the same dealership that replaced the head gasket of the 2008 sedan and where we purchased the 2010 3 door ( oil leaking from the head gasket ) . I know where to look for a leaking valve cover , have over 20 years of experience with cars . You'll have to take our word for it .

I'm willing to bet that you don't know what you're talking about.

Hershey · 10-27-2010, 01:10 PM

Guess you can issue a told you so if you end up being about a year or two ahead of Toyota and the rest of us on this.

I think he was talking about pictures, maybe even a statistic printout? I don't know, I'm still going to school for this right now...
