    2014 Tacoma SR5 4x4 DC SB V6 AT Tow Pkg Entune+ Mostly stock with a few OEM mods.
    Stock (99.999%) OEM Bed Floor Mat, Front Bed Rail Cargo Net and hooks, Auto-Dim mirror w/Compass and outside Temperature display, TRD Pro Grille, Uni-Filter air pump modification, WeatherTech floor liners f/r. OEM All-Weather floor mats (summer).
    Do a normal oil and filter change in your driveway or trusted garage and see what happens. Put in the right amount of oil, remove the old oil filter and inspect the gasket, put a little oil on the new OEM filter and tighten it down by hand to the spec on the package. Clean up any oil in the area and start it up. Check the area for leaks. I'm thinking the oil filter was not quite tight and over time made a big mess out of a little one. You should know in less than 30 seconds if this was the cause. Good luck! :proposetoast:

    I ordered a new housing and gaskets after an initial inspection at the Toyota dealer will have it completely inspected this weekend when I bring it to them on Saturday and if all it needs are the gaskets and not the housing I'll just pay a restock fee, just haven't had time due to my busy work schedule to do the inspections myself
