Does anyone have any experience with this sign for a rear differential for a 2018 Tacoma v6 w/ around 20k mile? Fluid leaking ? Seems like it just started leaking out. Checked level of fluid. It is about at the bottom of 5mm range.
Watched this utube and not sure if it is a recall for my case : " Top Problems Toyota Tacoma Truck 3rd Generation 2016+"
Any input will be really appreciate it.

I had that with my 2017 tacoma around 15K miles, brought it back to the dealer and they warrantied the axle. You should be covered under your drivetrain and bumper to bumper warranty to have the axle seal replaced.
 
Thanks for those quick helpful replies. I appreciate it.
