Rear axle problem
Hey everybody, I have a 95 4runner. a few days ago, I noticed that it had leaked something. Don't know what it leaked but I'm pretty sure that it came from the rear axle. I tried driving it but when I did, I heard a loud wheezing noise every time I gassed it. I'm sure its not the engine b/c when the truck idles I don't hear the noise. Can anybody help?? just want to know what it could be before I take it into a shop. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks

if its leaking from the center area of the differential and not out by the wheels, it is probably a bad pinion seal or a bad gasket on the third member....
a common cause for this leak is a plugged breather .... i offroad, so i decided to extend my breather per the writeup on www.4crawler.com
