Had the 90,000 mile dealer recommended service check up three weeks ago; part of this 90 K service was to replace the front/rear differential fluid. Drove the car from Minnesota to Colorado and back to MN after that service, for a trip length of @2500 miles. Upon return to my home I discovered transmission fluid leaking onto my garage floor. LEXUS dealer said the cause of the leak was due to a bad transmission pan gasket seal and it needs to be replaced. I want to do it myself.
