New Leak on Driveway

[smdbook2007]

I have a new leak under my 2005 V8 4Runner. She's got 115K on it and I noticed a drip on the driveway the other morning. It seems to be where the driveshaft goes into the tranny. Not sure in the leak is coming from there or is rolling down from the drip plugs. Need help on whether I should bring to mechanic, dealership or do it myself. Any help would be great. She's a great truck that I don't want to lose. Thanks

If it is 4x4 it could be the transfer case actuator. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/115316-what-leaking.html A common 4th gen problem.

Why could it not be the seal between the shaft and the tranny??

It could be. You will have to crawl under there and look.

Just did. The drip is on the drive shaft right where it goes into the tanny. Could it be that the seal going into the tranny is worn out. There is no fluid on the other item you mentioned.
