I have a 2003 standard transmission Toyota Tacoma 2 WD truck. For a little while I had noticed a buildup of grease on the inside of my driver's side rear wheel and a burning oil smell. I called my local mechanic who just does tuneups, brakes + small stuff and he told me that it sounded like the rear seal and he recommended someone to go to. My wife and I had gone to this other person before and are happy with his work. Well 3 weeks ago today, I brought it in and had the rear seal and the bearings replaced for a little over $300.00. Checking around that is a fair price since there was 2.5 hours of labor. Well this past Friday I smelled that burning oil smell again for the first time since the problem was fixed. There was fresh grease on the wheel. I just got off of the phone with the guy who did the work and I am bringing it in tomorrow morning. Here is the question; Could it just be a faulty part (it is a genuine Toyota part) or could it be something else that is a bigger?
