    Hi guys, anyone have a problem with the differential on a 2012 Tacoma? Looks like my gasket is leaking and needs replacement. Not going to be a cheap fix. Let me know if any of you 2012 owners have had a similar problem.

    If its your rear diff, make sure the nuts are torqued to spec. I had mine start loosening a little after a 3rd member swap, and it caused a minor leak. Torqued them down, added locktite, and its been good to go since
