Leaking CV axle, Diff side
96' Tacoma 3.4L
I noticed about 4 days ago that my passenger side Cv axle started leaking. I replaced CV's at the beginning of August. I haven't had it in 4wheel drive for about 2 weeks, although I went from 31x10.50 to 33x12.50 tires about 3 weeks ago.
The CV is leaking where it connect to the diff.

Possibly the oil seal was damaged when the CV was re-inserted? I believe the FSM warns about not allowing the weight of the CV axle to rest at an angle on the seal when installing....guessing the weight may force the seal slightly out-of-round.
I'm not on 33s so have no insight on what that change may affect.
