Found : head gasket oil leak on 2 used 2010 YARIS ...

[yaris2010RS]

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.

This is how our friends 2010 3 door YARIS was when I discovered it at 48,000+ miles . I then cleaned it very thoroughly with window cleaner and paper towels . Went back and found fresh oil . All this has been explained in previous posts . I went back about a month ago and his car had plenty of fresh oil again . He does not want anyone tearing his engine apart . He bought an extended warranty good until 125,000 miles . We've decided not to get the head gasket on our 2010 replaced . We'll monitor his car and see if he ever has to get his head gasket done . There is over 60,000 miles on his and should be over 100,000 in another year or less . Our 2010 still leaks fresh oil from the no.1 cylinder of the head gasket . You either believe it or not . It's no .

wow a head gasket leak that doesn't get ANY worse over 12,000 miles? amazing

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???

Never used Q-tips . Window cleaner cuts through engine oil , grime quite well . Try it , you may be amazed .

That works fine , didn't have any . Seen your video . So , what's the story ? Leak , no leak ?

Have given plenty of proof . Take it or leave it .

Was posted yesterday . Hopefully not a prank .

The new 2011 ELANTRA is good looking car , inside and out . Most likely we'll keep both YARIS .

Nope , hard to find , well hidden . Not all that noticeable .

yeah well im new to Yarisworld and i really dont care if you think im Hershey.When I purchased my 09 yaris sedan the carfax said that the dealership had replaced the head gasket. Now i have no proof that it was because of an oil leak but I wouldn't doubt it with all the evidence... if you dont think so then thats nice... its not like he's fear mongering he's just trying to inform others. I appreciate it.
