Oil leak in Toyota CHR: Normal or Problem?

Good day, I have a Toyota CHR automatic and during a pre-purchase inspection, it turned out that the engine block leaks or sweats oil on the underside of the oil pan. This problem also seems to occur in other CHR's from the same year. The Toyota dealer says this is normal and does not harm, but they do not give any further explanation about the cause. Does anyone have experience with this problem and does anyone know where this oil leak comes from? And how can this possibly be solved? All tips and advice are welcome!

The initial comment describes an oil leak or sweating issue on the underside of the oil pan in a Toyota CHR, which was identified during a pre-purchase inspection. This problem appears to be common in other CHR models from the same year. The Toyota dealer claims it is normal and not harmful but does not provide an explanation for the cause. Suggested solutions include checking the oil pan gasket and drain plug for wear or damage and ensuring the drain plug is properly tightened. If the problem continues, consulting a mechanic for further inspection is advised.

Start by checking the oil pan gasket and the oil drain plug for any signs of wear or damage, as these are common sources of oil leaks. Ensure the drain plug is properly tightened. If the issue persists, it might be best to have a mechanic inspect it further to prevent any potential damage. Let me know how it goes or if you have any other questions!
