Hello Oga Gazzuzz. Good morning, please I have two issues with my 2011 XLE Camry.

1: One of the headlamps started having vapor(small droplets of water) inside after a minor job was done by a panel beater, please how do I resolve this so it doesn’t affect the bulbs? Picture will be attached below

2: For a couple of months now my check engine light has been coming on and going off on it’s own, when it comes on, the slip indicator light also comes on with it. Recently it doesn’t go off again, it now is on all the time. What could cause this and how can I resolve it?
I once changed the shock absorber after someone noticed oil is leaking from it will attach pictures below as well. But this problem has been there even with the former shock absorber, how do I know for a fact what is wrong and does it need urgent attention?

The headlamp has a small leak in the areas where it was glued. Find the leak and that will stop.

You need to scan your vehicle .

Thanks Gazzuzz. Can I scan it myself? Last time I took it to VIO office to scan it passed the scan, they only said I needed to change my lower arm bushing, nothing serious.

Scanned it at the VIO office but I doubt if they really know much because they said nothing serious that I should just change my lower arm bushing that the car passed.

I stay on the island, can I scan it myself or is there any place I can scan it?

any of the."NASCAR" members should be willing to help I think... Quote any of the monikers at the post below with your location and I think one close to you will be willing to scan for you probably free https://www.nairaland.com/6242597/mr-t-milex-carquest-rad-auto#95841634

Thanks, I appreciate. You are actually very close to me. Checked your website and checked your workshop location seems it’s close to Orchid road, I called you in the morning when I realized that but your two lines were switched off.

Locate the nearest Mobil or oando or conoil or forte oik filling station and buy their dextron 2 or dextron 3 oil.

Thank u sir I'll check any of those filling stations.

Plz must the colour be golden? The follow come own is golden.

I noticed the power steering fluid is on the "Low" line. Should I refill it with the one inside already or
Should I flush out the remaining old one and fill in the new one?
Tnx
