    68k, how concerning would this be. Rolled under the truck this weekend to do just a visual inspection of everything. Drives normal, just had time so I figured why not look under to see hows everything.

    Truck stock?

    I would replace the seal, but that's just me. I don't like leaks of any sort.

    Personally I would have it looked at, it would bother me.

    But I would see what more experienced members say.

    clean with some brake cleaner and keep an eye on it. If it leaks in another 3-5k, replace it.

    Was thinking the same, only having the truck for 3 weeks, didnt know if its something super alarming. Def wanna replace it because the obvious, shouldn't be leaking. But I can imagine what the quote going to be lol

    Pick your priorities wisely, if the fluid is full you might get another year or two out of it and get a better ROI of the funds elsewhere to help cover the cost of the repair.:thumbsup:

    Yea I just did this job on a first gen Tacoma a few months ago. Took me about 45 minutes from start to finish. Doubt the process is significantly different or more difficult for a 2/2.5 Gen Tundra. And it will only require basic hand tools.
