Major repairs performed on oil leaks galore

Just got my '06 TL back from getting a major overhaul of all the oil leaks. Is this severity of leaks rather uncommon at only 160k miles?


I had leaks in all the below areas in order of major to minor (top to bottom):

- rear main seal (including that plate that houses the rear main seal)
- oil pan
- front main seal / crank seal
- cam seal
- axle seal

All of the above are common leak area except maybe the axle seal. There are also three additional leak areas missing from your list, the power steering pump and rack, the oil pump, and the valve/cam covers.

The valve cover gasket seems fine and this is something I'll fix myself if it comes to that. I recently also had steering rack replaced and the PS pump looks okay just a bit noisy.
Oil pump doesn't seem to be leaking as noted by my mechanic. I hope not to see anymore leakages for long time as I've spent quite lot of money already.
