Drive shaft leak again

21 dc off road 2wd
Noticed first around in aug 22 toyota fixed it with new axle and seal took around 2 weeks
Went to changed oil and noticed it's leaking again or slow seaping?
It's still covered by warranty but what do you guys think ,does it qualify for a lemon?
I also purchased the extended warranty?
Anyone experienced this before or something similar happened to their 3rd gen?

 

It’s a leaking seal
Either installed wrong or a burr on the slip yoke causing the seal failure.

 

It's weird cuz I monitored it for about 2-3 months it was all good now this again

 

No.

 

Lemon laws are state laws
In MY state, it’s the first 12 months or 12,000 miles. I have no idea what state you are in, by I really, really doubt they have a 3 year lemon law

Generally, lemon laws also only cover major issues that put a vehicle out of service as well

 

Change the seal and it will be like new again maybe an hour job taking your time.

 

It's been about 18 months since this was last repaired.
I would guess it's as FAA said above, more than likely something in the slip yoke that nicked or wore the seal prematurely.
if it's still under warranty, take it back and have them redo it.

 

does it qualify for a lemon?

c'mon man

 

Does your drive shaft have any damage or marks that would indicate it’s no longer balanced? That could also damage the seal.

 

Probably never wiped the gook out of the housing so it's just left over.

 

Everyone and their mother wanting to lemon law everything these days lol

 

No I wiped the area clean ,it's never been off road ,I drive it about 5 miles a day ,just made 10k miles ,I'm in maui , The dealership replaced the drive shaft and the gasket per order repair invoice. I monitored it for around 3 months .
Well anyway I have scheduled repair, I posted this to see if it was common issue and my see options in what to do. Thanks everyone for your responses

 

Not an uncommon repair. Usually they don’t leak after getting a new seal. Dirt on the slip yoke and/or a careless tech is the usual culprit for a seal that leaks after install.

 

Drive shaft leaked repaired on 3/26/24 second repair in last 2 years picture taken 3 /30/24

 

It's April 6 2024 again starts trickling again?

 

Again they replaced the whole draft shaft and seal
Still under 3 year warranty and also bought extended 10year. What you guys think?

 

Do you sleep under your truck and scrub it with a toothbrush every morning? It looks like a museum piece. I can only imagine being your girlfriend with a hair out of place. Don’t worry. Be happy.

 

No i go only down there every 6 months lol to change the oil. But more often this week to check up on the dealers repair

It's a 2 1/2 year old just made 11k miles

Just sharing and see if anyone else has this issue

 

Have the vent checked. Make sure it isn't clogged with dirt or an insect nest.

 

I would check the play of trans. output shaft to see if within specs.
