    I’m having the same issue. Just noticed after changing my oil after 127k miles. Have you fixed this issue yet?

    My 2017 TRDOR has the same issue as the OP.. and has just shy of 160. OP did you get an answer to where the leak is and like someone said might have to pull the trany.

    Just added toolbox and roof-rack to haul my fishing boat 100's of miles into the backwoods every week. Goodrich K02s, Bilstein 5100 front and back, no lift.
    Seems to really be hit or miss.

    My 2016 TRD Off Road gets the crap beat out of it once or twice per week off road on very bad conditions, and has no leaks anywhere from front to back.

    I imagine it will come, as most vehicles start to leak at high mileage. My last 3 trucks all developed oil leaks, which I never bothered to repair and I drove them to over 150K miles with no subsequent damage. Just soaked cardboard on the garage floor. Good thing cardboard is cheap.

    I am at 75,000 miles, and around 20,000 miles off road on harsh washboard, and 4x4 trails always in 4WD.

    I guess a lot of it is due to luck on how things are put together during manufacture. Some end up with defects, others not.

    yea, this is my 4th Tacoma and similar.. the previous ones had no major issues like an oil leak and were all well over 200k miles.
