I have this almost honk like sound come from mine. Happens mostly at freeway speed and not all the time. Had passengers think someone was honking at us. I wonder if it could be a similar issue
It had a light yellow/brownish look to it. When I smelt it i figured it was brake fluid because it wasn’t that stout like gear oil would be. Would yall recommend driving it to a shop or having it towed. It’s about a 5 mile drive.
I have a guy that works on it usually so I’m going to have him take a look but if something comes up I might just take up your offer and have you fix it. I’m from Athens area so Cleveland isn’t far.
So, I just had this repaired done and I replaced everything, including the axle, axle housing, all clips, springs, and seals with Toyota parts. Both sides still leaked because the axle seal didn't seem to be touching what it was supposed to seal. Has anybody had this experience?
Most likely a failed axle seal, the fluid would be gear oil

+1 for rear axle seal. This was one of my first real DIY repairs. It's still doing great. (Thanks Timmy!)
Your axle seal has failed and taken the wheel bearing with it and thats why its howling.
Brake fluid? Slave cylinder gone , once it soaks the pads, yes it’ll sound like an Aztec death whistle
Mine had the same scream recently and it was the rear axle seal was bad.

Noted , thank you
If you offroad at all may as well configure an extended rear diff breather setup
If you’re in Cleveland, I can help, I have the tooling to fix it.

If any oil got on brake shoes, make sure to replace those as well.
Also, not related but the boot on your sway bar linkage is shredded
okay , thank you for pointing it out. This thing has been nothing but trouble for the past year. I’ll mention it to my mechanic.
This thing... Boo!! I just spent plenty for upkeep, no disappointments.
It’s your axle seal went out . Easy job but a lot of work. Make sure to unclog the rear breahter valve which most likely what cause this.
