Any leakage is bad. The clutch has a specific amount of silicone inside to function properly. And now its failed. This is the only thing keeping your engine cool. Whats it worth to you? $100 now or $8,000 later. You dont want to be upside down on this trade.

The truth is, you want someone to say, dont worry about it. Either you’re lazy or cheap.

So here you go “dont worry about it”

Now Close the thread.

The purpose of forums is to get differing views to make a right decision, you clearly misread my thread and am not closing it.

The point I'm trying to make is it's worth spending a few bucks replacing it now than to have to spend a LOT of money later to replace or do major repairs to the engine.
100% already ordered the Oem part all I have read is stay away from aftermarket. Interesting enough Toyota does sell the the oil part 08816-10001.

Yes they do sell the Oil Silicon and it can be replaced to revitalize the clutch, BUT if the seals on your clutch are bad just replacing the oil will not last for long, hopefully you ordered the clutch and not just the oil.

Clutch bought no oil, $200 is better safe than sorry. From my research a bad fan clutch is a big reason for the water pump giving up prematurely too. Got water pump and thermostat let me do more preventative maintenance to get another 100k miles trouble free. Thanks for your insights.
