My rx300 had an oil leak between the engine and trans (main rear seal leak).
Was running on semi synthetic oil. Leaking a few drops of oil on the driveway wherever it was parked and always a drop hanging, didn't really use much oil.
Replacing the oil with Castro Edge full synthetic 5w30 fixed this problem. At first the leak is a bit worse. Then overtime (about 6 months or so), the oil either cleans up the seal or conditions/expands it, or both. No more leak
Worth a shot.
