260k on 06LX running heavy. Ironman front bumper, dual swingout 4x4 labs rear, slider, rear drawers.

Stock height with 34" tires.
I can't find a leak above so it's either rear main or upper oil pan near the rear. I added ATP AT205 and the leak is still there. I'm looking to schedule a weekend and drop the transmission and swap the rear main seal.
PS has grease staining from the driveshaft but no wet oil. I could look up at the backside of both heads and they look dry. Inside the bell housing looked dry. I will clean up the area, test PCV and report back.
Thanks
Oil leak just popped up and overnight. Popped the transmission cover and inside looks dry, from my quick inspection. I am not looking forward to replacing rear main seal. @2001LC would you use AT-205?
Broke a u joint on my rear driveshaft a few weeks back. Bought a new shaft from Toyota and am having intermittent vibration/droning that i have been trouble shooting. I took of my front shaft no change, checked my rear control arms and now discovered this oil leak. I am hoping this is my...

Put in new u joints and the joint turns rough when install. I cleaned up the raised metal and reinstalled the joint several times. I am getting vibrations and I have installed and checked driveshaft phase several times.... Looks like a new rear drive shaft might be in order, I am sure Mr T...
Cleaned up and inspected the prop shaft last night. Looks like the u joint that broke was non OE. Placed an order with Cruiser Outfitters for OE ones this morning.
Bummer but understandable given the situation. I just moved out to Montrose Colorado 3 weeks ago and was looking forward to meeting and making some new friend. I'm interested in small group runs as I would rather go with someone else first time up these passes.
