Maintenance TechThis forum is for discussion of all aspects of maintenance that should be performed on the FJ Cruiser to keep it operating at maximum efficiency.
Took off my factory skids today to replace with Demmello one and found that my Front Diff is leaking!
Anybody else have this problem?
What did you end up doing?
I'll be calling Toyota tomorrow to see if they will take care of it under warranty which they should sense it is an internal problem which has not been affected by modifications.
Do u have a pool of fluid or can u see fluid on the skid? If u just see a wet area around your seal and u have no puddles your good. Cuz if you wheel/ have a lift your gonna get some seepage.

The lemon did that...Toyota put a new diff in.....We thought it was an axle seal until they started taking it apart....it leaked at the top of the diff on mine.....but the fluid ran down the diff onto the axles leaving a puddle under the axle end of the diff....
Just had mine replaced under warranty at 45,000 miles. They said the bolts were just loose. My mechanic told me they are only suppose to reseal them now and not replace.

Mine was replaced under the drive-train warranty at 43,000 miles. My dealer is pretty great though. I have a lot of mods and it's obvious I use them. They found the leaks while replacing my inner pinion. The front diff is a bit of a known weak point. I think you should be getting it fixed gratis.
got a call from them they said they found more then just the front diff leaking ill be getting more info later tonight when i go there to get the rental car sense they have to keep it until wed. now
just came back pretty cool stuff they let me see the fj in the operation room shes bleeding and toren apart
hopefully she will be better hahaha
