Oil, dirt and grime accumulation on brake disk area. I first noticed the problem on our way CA to Seattle, had to gas up in Oregon and noticed smoke emanating on rear break disc area, got scared and had local dealership inspect, was turned off by exuberant repair estimate that I took a gamble till I got back in So Cal. Five dollar parts 2 hours labor rate from my local mechanic was not bad.

Both rear axle seals had to be replaced along with brakes every 20K miles. Ridiculous for a $40K vehicle from Toyota.

Well it's leaking again..I did not noticed until rear tire was removed for leak repair. I know it's a cheap parts but labor is another story...yikes!
