Gear oil leaking from axle

Hi everyone,

I purchased a 2022 Tacoma Trdoffroad and without a week even passing when I went on a trail I noticed the my front passenger side axle was leaking gear oil. Has this happened to you? The vehicle is brand new that is why I am shocked that it’s having issues. I’ve already contacted Toyota and they stated they will repair the issue but I am wondering how common is this for the future or do you guys think thinks May have caused some type of long term damage.

 

Let them fix it.....move on with life and enjoy your rig.

 

Shit happens, enjoy warranty.

 

Wife’s 4Runner CV boot was unclamped… I noticed the grease slung all over the place when I crawled under for the first week ‘just in case’ inspection…

 

mines been leaking since 2017 on a 2017 Tacoma TRD4by4......its perspective which helps me cope with this insanity....it leaks slowly, I fill it....we go back in forward....its like brand new gear oil every year or so....so win win

 

Mine leaked - was the inner axel seal and I was out of warranty - a cheap less than $5 part - the dealer only wanted $450 to replace it. I found a local Toyota Shop and had it replaced for $100. Get it done under warranty and be happy you don't have to foot the Stealer's overly inflated screw job price for the work.

 

Is it leaking gear oil out of the diff, or leaking grease out of the CV boot?

 

It’s leaking gear oil out of the diff
