oil dripping

sup guys, my taco seems to be dripping a little, i noticed a few spots in the driveway, so went under to check, drain plug for oil is tight no sign of leaks and the oil filter is good to, i see oil on the black skid plate under the truck tho, looks like a small bit of oil on the transmission , but everything looks tight, any suggestions? im freaking out

 

on your driver side is the fill and drain plug for your front diff. that's right above the skid plate. check for a leak there. you can see it with a flashlight without taking the skid off.

edit: shit im thinking 2nd gen. though it's probably in the same neighborhood.

 

Im betting rear main seal. are you sure its motor oil?

 

yea almost positive its motor oil

 

well if the back of the engine/front of the trans is wet then its the rear main seal. Only way to fix it is to either drop the transmission or remove the engine.

 

fantastic lol

 

Check the oil filter on a V6 if seaping it blows back and appears to be a main seal, snug it up, wash the area and see where you are at.

 

all around the oil filter seems to be completly dry

 

Be sure its oil--not radiator fluid--
