[Highlander2002GA]

Hey people; new member here!
I just bought a 2002 Highlander V6 3.0 with 130k miles on it and it has a oil leak in the back side of engine. From the research I have gathered it seems to be a “rear valve cover gasket”
Has anyone else had this issue?
Cost to fix? I checked repair pal and it looked to be in the $300 range..
Any help is appreciated!!

it's a big job but it's doable if you know what your doing.

Why is this in a Corolla forum? Mods need to move this to the Highlander forum please.

yeah I started looking at some videos after I posted. I should have looked before asking questions. My mechanic said he would do it for $300 OTD. Yota said $400 OTD
