Rear end leak

Hey guys, I need some tacoma knowledge! 07 tacoma trd off road 2wheel drive. No recent changes except 1500 mile trip to Tennessee. Seen drops on driveway under rear end pumpkin. Investigated and there is an 8 inch hose sticking out of a harness above pumpkin. Has a black adapter on it will a male hose connector plugged into hose hanging down and other end has a male hose connector and 2 clups to I assume hole it into something. I have checked everywhere and everything and cant find any place in its reach to connect too. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Welcome to Tacoma World! Sound like you are talking about the differential breather. Possibly someone extended it using some rubber hose and maybe it came un-done? If not, share a picture so we can see where the leak is and give more guidance. As they say a picture is worth 1,000 words.

 

Trying to send pics

 

On first pic, you can see like a presses in plug(shiney area)or it may have an allen wtench insert area but it does not have a hole to plug in connector

 

Anybody with an 07 tacoma trd off road with a locking diff tell me where this plugs into?

 

Into the frame cross member support.
Just above the differential.

 

Does something plug into the other end? I have a sudden leak up top of the pumpkin and only when I travel, so it blows onto everything, so I cant tell where.

 

Not that I can see. If there is, it’s in the frame cross member. There’s nothing I see coming out the other side.

 

Ok. Thank you very much!

 

It's just a breather tube for the smog system. It's normally attached to the cross member to help prevent clogs. The plastic bit on the end of mine is missing, so it just sorta dangles.

 

it doesn’t have anything to do with the smog system.

 

Maybe it's a different tube, but the one I'm thinking of connects directly to the smog pump.

 

think a "rear end leak" is something you should consult your doctor about.....

 

Thank you all! Gurss Im gonna clean atea, put up on stands and run the tear end a little and try to find the leak
