Changed oil with Mobil 1 synthetic 10W-30. Replaced old oil filter with Mobil 1 M1-102. Substituted about half a quart of new oil with Marvel Mystery Oil. Put duct tape and grease over the hole where antenna cable came through and refitted the interior trim pieces. Front fender lining on passenger side needs to be replaced (Toyota part #53875-04030) and was probably contributing to rain water entering cabin through antenna cable hole. Replaced stripped screw holding in MAF sensor and also cleaned sensor with CRC specifically formulated MAF sensor cleaner. Sprayed CRC throttle body cleaner into throttle body intake. Cleaned off battery and corroded contacts. Flushed coolant system and refilled with ~60/40 mix of distilled water and Prestone regular antifreeze. Coolant was previously dark brown. Replaced air filter with Purolator Classic A24645. Engine ground wire broke temporarily and car would not turn on, even for auxillary power. Once I reattached it to the negative battery terminal, it powered on right away. Temperature reading is a little lower than before with new coolant. Reset computer for fuel trim recalibration after MAF sensor cleaning.

Went to Merchant's Auto on Battleground Ave. so they could finish what I originally asked for at previous mechanic. They disposed of the bent wheel and put the tire on the full-size spare wheel, performed a steering and wheel alignment, and installed new front brake pads and a new front brake caliper on passenger side. Car drives perfectly straight and steering wheel is very close to 12 o'clock. Need to purchase another spare (whether full-size or not).

Truck was towed by AAA to Triad Equipment Service because truck was not driveable with ball joint failure. I asked the mechanic to look at oil leaking on engine seals and the diff fluid continiuing to drip. Driver side lower ball joint was replaced. Differential pinion seal was replaced. Front crankshaft seal was replaced. Differential appears to not be leaking anymore. I won't be able to see additional engine oil leakage until the engine bay is scoured with degreaser/brake cleaner and water pressure. They did not allign the steering wheel after the ball joint replacement

Differential is still leaking fluid, albeit very slowly. I must have not put the correct seal on or just not installed it perfectly flush.

Attempted to replace differential pinion seal. After getting the wrong part originally, the correct part was installed and re-resealed with grease. Mobil 1 Synthetic 75W-90 GL-5 gear lube was filled in the diff case.

After a camping road trip, on the way back home (2.5 hour drive) I started to smell oil. Upon inspection, it was the differential pinion seal leaking.
