    Default rear axel leaking oil



    hey guys I got a problem with my 95 4runner. I just noticed today that it is leaking oil, it has 190,000 miles on it would the seals be going bad in it?

    well if it is driping from the pinion seal that is bad and possibly the seal around the thirdmember bolts could be also ........not sure how yours is set up but in theory just unbolt the pinion and clean everything and then put a new seal in and bolt back together and retorque..........just when the pinion nut is off do not move the pumpkin or axles or tires in anyway or you may disturb the pinion crushsleeves and spacing and they will need to be redone ..........this is what i know from my dana and corporate axles and the third member ones like this may be different
