kubus1 Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Hi, I had my car up on the ramp yesterday when I was having a quote for a new exhaust and .... I noticed the centre part of the diff covered in oil. It wasnt dripping or anything, it was just there. What could be the cause? What damage can it do to the car, and how to fix it? All inputs will be greatly appreciated, Please help!! Thanks, Cuba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavinL Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 I have the same problem with my car at the moment. Leon is looking at it and there is probably a leak in the Diff oil cooler which is causing traces of oil in the rear offside wheel arch and possibly a leak in the hoses near the diff as well I guess that your car being a Euro spec has the oil cooler and assorted gubbins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kubus1 Posted January 8, 2003 Author Share Posted January 8, 2003 Yeah, I think Euro and UK specs are pretty much the same. Please share any info when you get it. cheers, Cuba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastisnice Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 i had the same problem last summer and my diff went so low on oil that it broke..So watch out.Probably it leaks from the seals. Im getting a TRD now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith C Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Cuba Check out the diff oil cooler in the (for you) passenger side rear wheel intake. Mine had corroded where the metal cooler pipes met rubber, and was dropping fluid. A replacement was about £120 from Toyota, so not too bad.
