    Hello
    Just bought at 2011 all good just one noticeable issue. The drive line has a support that is leaking oil. See photo
    Can anyone confirm best place to order replacement and how difficult is it to swap out?

    Thanks in advance

    Steve

    That is the carrier bearing support or center support bearing. Lots of places make replacements but I would go OEM if that is what you decide, OEM is around 200$ and easy to change. Look for a guide on here.

    Is there a lot of play in bearing? It should be tight.

    Miles?

    Not sure why there is "oil" leaking. The only grease points on the drive shaft should be the u joints. Look into the source of the leak a bit further.
