    The electric motor can only add HP that the battery supplies, when it is using electricity that the engine supplies, that merely transfers HP, none is 'new'

    So the total is 134, although the PIP may be higher.

    It's interesting that there were no symptoms other than the leak. The thread about the transaxle replacement is in the Gen II technical discussion forum LINK Transaxle Failure | PriusChat
