Consumer Description

THE OIL COOLER MANIFOLD WHICH HAS RUBBER HOSES LEAKED COMPLETELY OUT. THE NEW PARTS HAVE A SOLID METAL HOSE, NOT RUBBER! I BELIEVE LEXUS OBVIOUSLY KNEW THE RUBBER HOSES WERE A CHEAPER METHOD OF COOLING, THOUGH THEY ARE "HIGH PRESSURE" AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN METAL AT THE TIME OF MANUFACTURING THE VEHICLE! I HAVE SEEN BLOG AFTER BLOG OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. OIL ALL OVER MY DRIVEWAY AND AGAIN, I BELIEVE THE MOTOR HAS BEEN DAMAGED DUE TO DRIVING HOME (UNAWARE THERE WAS AN ISSUE) UNTIL I SAW THE OIL EVERYWHERE UNDERNEATH AND ON THE SIDE OF THE MOTOR.
