Hello,
I have a 99 RX300, 88K miles runs good, last week I notice some oil
drops in my drive way, I looked underneeth and I do see a leak right
around transmission area, the oil is around the nut, it is not a bad
leak but I see some oil there and it does drop after a while, any
ideas, easy fix.

I'm not sure which nut you are talking about, but if it is the transmission
drain plug, have you tried tightening it? Is the transmission case above
the nut dry?

Yeah the nut is pretty tight, I can't tell from where but I am sure
the leak is somewhere in the transmission case, the oil end up around
the nut area. >> Stay informed about: 1999 RX300 Transmission Fluid Leak |

Is the leaking fluid transmission fluid or motor oil?
Check the gasket around the transmission oil pan, check to make sure that
the transmission dip stick is fully seated in the dip stick tube. If none
of those items are leaking, then the next step is to clean all of the drips
and leaks and see where fresh oil appears.
