    While changing out my front wheel bearings, I noticed some grease being flung out of the CV Axle inner boot (this was on the driver's side. It started out with just a little. This is a pic 2-3 weeks later when I got around to my quick-fix. Tightening the band clamp did not help. The rubber...

    Hi all, Got an '05 AWD Sienna. 150K miles +/- and a few questions. Noticed a trans fluid leak above the pan and NOT the differential seat, which was replaced about a year ago. The local dealer thinks its a leak on the case halves. At 150K I don't want to spend much as the van isn't worth all...

    My 1998 Sienna has a large leak at the rear evaporator piping (oil marked the spot). I'm not interested in replacing the piping and can do without the rear AC - just need the front AC. I purchased some 1/2" and 5/8" sizes of terminators to plug the lines going to the rear. I'm trying to...
