on a friends 3 door with 48,000 plus miles . Drives about 1,000 miles per week . Bought the car back in OCTOBER 2009 . Last THURSDAY decided to check his car for the same head gasket oil leak of the #1 cylinder as our 2010 3 door and that of our 2008 sedan that was replaced . For details go here , www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28321 , page 3 . Our 2010 still leaks every 100+ miles .

It's not the easiest to locate. Very well hidden. Good luck.

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 .
