Leaking Rear Diff - 2001 SR5

Dealer sells the brake lines pre-bent
Can be had next day usually. Although the whole parts shortage thing we have going on may effect that.

 

Took a while to find the part but finally got it.

In the mean time I'm wondering if I should lube the cylinders prior to starting the engine. It's been sitting for 9 months. I've seen people are somewhat divided on this but if you love your engine it's not a bad idea?

I've seen different methods. Some spray fogging oil into the spark plugs holes. I've read others just disconnect the spark plugs and crank the engine for 20 seconds and call it good.

Curious if anyone has any opinions on this.

 

Wonder where you got that axle in the second pic, the one that is completely black? After 2.5 years my axle housing has now started leaking on the back side of the diff housing so I need to find where to get one. The diff housing has been perfect.
