Default Mechanic specialising in Jap Imports or Lexus

The wife's Lexus is leaking a small amount of oil, which appears to be coming from the front camshaft cover and running down.

Our regular mechanic has taken a look and is not familiar with these engines as there are some parts with lables "do not remove" and the likes.

So I am after if anybody knows of a mechanic in the Brisbane area who is faimiliar with these engines, the J2ZE or Supra engines and the likes.

Cheers

Lexus dealer in Caloundra is pretty good I have been told but is priced accordingly. There used to be a jap import place out on or around Pickering St Enoggera who was the soarer king, not sure if they are still there.

Maybe try SAU or the like, they will know more.

Thanks Flappist.Trying to stay away from Lexus dealers if I can, just had too many bad experiences with them in the past.

Sorry, but what is SAU??
