    8C31233F-776A-4189-A8F2-21B524F3DD87.jpg Hey long story short, went to Toyota for a trans fluid replacement, they told me the output shaft seal was leaking, gave them go ahead to fix it, month later I saw a drip on the trans where the shaft and trans meet, wiped it dry and kept an eye on it, Now about three weeks later I checked today at work and noticed a very small amount of trans fluid I wiped with my finger.. what the hell is going on? Someone told me this is normal for an overfilled trans as they overfilled then front factory anyway and the fix is to open the weep hole in the trans and let whatever is in there out, and that’s be it stopped leaking? Also heard them output shaft trans seals are not air tight so they can leak if overfilled? I’ll attach pics of what it was like today any thoughts?
    By the way my truck is a 2015 pre runner v6 automatic 80.300miles (it has the trans replaced at 50k for some reason (was on Carfax when I bought the truck)

    Take it back to the dealership. I had mine replaced 3 years ago and no problem. I know that they did a redesign of the seal because when the dealership ordered my seal they got sent the old design the first time and had to reorder.

    Yeah I figured they would’ve already used a good new design seal since I had it done about two months or less ago! It sucks because they won’t talk to me over the ohine or give me the service manager I was dealing with they’re like oh you need to come in! Which is hard with work and other stuff going on! Last time they took over 4hrs just to “replace the fluid” then said oh the seal needs replaced.. so they did it and said the old one was pressed in too far which makes no sense.. because the truck has 80k miles 79k when I had it in
