    I noticed this small leak coming from the end of my transmission where it meets up with the U joint. I've seen this same amount the last two times I've been under to change the engine oil. Should I just put some stop leak in it? The truck is a 2008 4.0L prerunner.

    Don't use stop leak, it's just the output shaft seal on the transmission.
    Pretty easy repair, just have to remove the driveshaft to access the seal. I believe there is an updated seal for it.
