    Look what I found today. My truck barely has 600 miles on it. I noticed some fluid under my truck. I had gone to the grocery store earier so I thought it might be water from the ac. To my surprise it was oil. I am assuming it has been that way from the factory.

    Looks like it isn't pushed all the way in. Take it to the dealer and let warranty take care of it.

    I don't think that is CV joint grease of differential gear lube. Regardless, take it back.

    Your CV axle is out for some reason. You can pound it back in, or better yet take it to the dealer to fix and have them refill the front diff, too.

    Yeah I am taking it in. I just posted this in case anyone else ever ran in to this or if it was an isolated problem. Wonder how that one got by QA.

    Did you get aftermarket wheels and/or suspension? Could have been some tech fuckery.

    Have the 4runner trd 17" wheels with 265/70/17's. No lift or any mods yet. Can't see any way that could have anything to do with that.
