Rear output shaft seal
I have a 2018 with 39,400 miles on it. While inspecting the undercarriage today, I noticed a drip forming under the transfer case rear output shaft. No splatter around, and nothing on the garage floor, so I’m thinking it’s somewhat minor. Seems to actually be somewhat common, and I even found a tech tip that describes the issue and shows a spitting image photo. Should I bring it to dealer and beg for mercy, or just monitor? Here is the Toyota tech tip: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/20...20246-9999.pdf

I wouldn't worry about it unless/until it gets worse.

Book time is 1.9 hours, but I did it without a lift in well under 1 hour. Pop the drive shaft off, unstake the nut and remove, knock the output shaft out, replace the seal. Part is $14 MSRP

Depending on when your 2018 was put into service, it could be covered under the 5 year/ 60k mile warranty.
