Another 2010 head gasket oil leak found ... - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hershey · 10-20-2010, 01:18 AM

It's confirmed , for the 3rd time fresh oil gathered on the exposed part of the head gasket of our friends 2010 3 door as our 2008 sedan ( replaced gasket , no leak thus far ) and our 2010 3 door that will go under the wrench for a new head gasket fairly soon . I thoroughly cleaned the exposed part of gasket this past SATURDAY and rechecked it yesterday evening after he had drove it for nearly 600 miles . Uses it for his business and has close to 49,000 miles on it . Was bought new in OCTOBER of '09 and our 3 door was purchased in JANUARY of this year . We figure these cars were manufactured 4 > 5 months apart .
