Timing Cover Oil Leak

Topic starter

Hello,

I have a 2016 Lexus RX 350 with 47k miles (2GR-FKS engine).

I'm not very mechanically inclined. What's the best way to spot a timing cover oil leak (heard it might be a common problem)?

Also, would I need a tracer dye to pinpoint the leak?

Thanks!

The timing cover (basically the whole front face)

 

 

Follow along the whole edge with your flashlight.

Of course, that's easier said than done, because unlike this photo, there will be a whole bunch of stuff in the way. The UV dye will definitely help.
