Description of the problem	My rav4 has 66,000 miles. I noticed an oil leak coming from the rear differential. My local dealer inspected the car and told me that there is a recall for a pinion bearing inside the rear differential but after only listening for noise of a faulty bearing they determined that mine was not defective. However the oil leak is coming from the pinion seal which is the same shaft as the bearings affected by the recall. One of the first signs of a bearing failure is a leaking seal. The failing bearing causes a vibration often times not heard or felt but which causes an oil seal to fail. The dealership did inform me however that i have a front wheel bearing that is failing. I do have an appointment to have everything fixed with a trusted local mechanic shop however i am concerned that toyota is using poor quality parts that could lead to increased accidents.
