Hersey just a little FYI any good flat rate mechanic is definitely looking for any type of oil leak while doing just an oil change. Even more so if the car he/she is working on has warranty left that's how they make money its not just about being quick it about being a complete Technician.

lol, i find it funny how the guy with the worst presented data and not really explored data is looking for widly explored and expertly presented data :p lol
in the morning i will look better at mine and thurs i have a scheduled check up from the dealer i will have them look at it also, so once and for all i can stop worrying about mine for now. also for all the haters, hershey from the pics u showed of ur engine from below, to me it looked like a very serious leak as that was very fresh and a high amount of oil.

It seems like Hershey is sincere with his mission and has some proof to back it, but for some reason his methods create a lot of friction here and at the dealerships he visits, from what I've viewed.

bronsin, personally i think its kinda fishy too, but at the same time people dont want to hear there is something wrong with the thing they love. i know people that will defend american cars to the end, saying changing all these parts and reparing all these things is jsut part of car ownership. i believe he had a head gasket leak but i dont think its as wide spread as he may hope for. personally i checked my car and i found nothing, it was dirtyer on that side of the engine but no oil. will i ask toyota to look at it? yes, am i concerned? not at all.
the drips on the bottom of the engine did look like a fairly high flow leak. could that have been there from something else? hell yeah but its for the person reading it to take it seriously or not

That's how mine was...a little bit of caked grime, but nothing that even resembles fresh looking oil so far, and I have over 30k miles on the car.

We've done all there is to do . We will be getting the 2010 the same repair soon and won't be reporting back on that since it's all too fishy . I've been working with cars for over 30 years , guess my findings and posts are of no significance . No winning .

At least it's an easy check. Both my 07 and 09 were fine.

all the people running turbos and superchargers on stock gasket have no leaks? amazing searching the forums that thousands of yaris owners have posted on, no yaris except ones you have touched have had a gasket leak? amazing (oh TXyaris, my bad, I'm sure some random person just signed in to substantiate your claim, only to never be seen on the forum again.. rofl) Somehow I think your claims would be slightly more believable if you weren't pimping the new hyundai on a yaris forum at the same time you're talking about these leaks. By the way did they teach you to spray windex and jam q-tips in the gasket at mechanics school? EDIT: did toyota switch to a new head gasket for the yaris?? Don't you think if all these cars on lots you are checking all have leaks, SOMEONE would have noticed this is an issue over the decade+ the engine has been around??? |

Since when does a head gasket replacement lower the resale value of a car?
A busted head gasket is not a good thing, but it's not the end of the world. I've replaced a head gasket on one car and completely replaced a cracked head on another. The work is a great way to blow an entire weekend, but once the problem is fixed, it isn't a problem anymore. |
