A word of Caution, guys. Be careful taking the upper power steering hose off the reservoir. They get very stiff with time and can be very, very difficult to get off. I have broken the nipple before and then you have to get a new res. Nice video otherwise. As others said: clear and right to the point.

Thank you for the frame rust advice. I almost bought a 2014 FJ from Colorado and I did ask for pictures from under. Although the rust wasn’t a lot on the sides of the frame I saw some significant flaking closer to under the engine, wish I could post it. I am glad I found your video

Don’t think it’s the heads that weep oil. They could on some vehicles, but I do know for a fact that on the passenger side of the timing chain cover there’s a tiny irregularity where the gasket just doesn’t seat properly. No need to be concerned. The oil that weeps out dries and seals itself until of course an undercarriage wash or heavy rain. DON’T Let a mechanic tell you the gasket needs replacing. $3,000 +++. It’s a scam. They’ll take pictures of the dirty oil and say it needs to be replaced IT DOESN’T and the replacement won’t seat either.
