Axle leaks are typically caused by the deterioration of seals or gaskets due to age, wear, or exposure to contaminants. Damage from road debris, improper installation, or excessive heat can also compromise these seals, leading to fluid leakage. Additionally, overfilling the axle or using incorrect lubricants may increase pressure and contribute to leaks. Regular maintenance and inspections can help identify and prevent axle leaks before they become significant issues.

To fix an oil leak at the rear axle on a Toyota T100, start by identifying the source of the leak, typically the axle seals or differential cover. Drain the differential fluid, remove the affected axle shaft, and replace the axle seals if they are worn or damaged. If the differential cover is leaking, replace the gasket and reseal it with a suitable gasket maker. Finally, refill the differential with the appropriate fluid and check for leaks before test driving the vehicle.
