Passenger side stub shaft (I think some call it the tulip joint?) where it comes out of the front differential has some play/wobble to it. Enough that after playing it it, it has leaked some diff fluid out of the seal.

What causes this... and do I have to drop out the whole diff chunk and get to it from the inside? Seems like a bearing issue.
No noise or rough spots in the gears as I turn the wheels.
 
Not sure about those years, but the Tacomas do not have a bearing to support the short-side stub. I would contact ECGS and see if there is a known issue.
