    Fellas, Was doing a little fall season work on the truck while at home sick and wanted to ask the experts. I noticed some oil coming from what i believe is the timing belt area leaving film on what i think is the a/c compressor or oil pump. It is not significant because it doesnt reach the ground. I wiped it all down to see how much it leaks as time goes on. I also have some royal purple gear oil for front and rear differentials 75-90w with friction modifier in it for limited slips which I have. Wanted to see if the experts thought this was good to use or something else... I also noticed that my spicer carrier bearing has a couple of cracks in it but still seems in decent condition and not rock hard. I will add photos to supplement my questions and concerns. All in all I love the truck so I would like to stay on top of any problems that might bite me in ass. Thanks.

    I don't see anything on the oil dipstick housing, so probably not valve covers.

    I'm guessing it's your driver cam seal leaking. Does it look like mine, I outlined in blue the 1st two pics here? https://www.tundras.com/threads/hey-whats-leaking-here-lower-timing-cover-valve-cover.100798/

    If so, I was apparently able to curb mine using ATP AT-205, I used one bottle, it's $20 at Advance Auto Parts. It's guaranteed not to over-swell gaskets which is something other brands apparently can't claim. Took about 200-300 miles of driving after application before it reached full effectiveness.
