I had exactly the same problem I think. Is it the differential throwing oil on the right side from the vent hole?

If so, two local installers, but from different companies told me and Champion that the breather kit is poorly designed. That said, I got Champion to send me a new breather kit free and drained all of the oil in the rear end. Re filled it with exactly one quart (32 OZ) and that problem went away. That was about 2.5 months ago or 1500 miles and everything back there is as clean as a whistle. Here is a photo when it was leaking oil. My right tire and the right exhaust were splattered with oil.

Hope your fix is as simple.

Try to speak with Jim Pinto at Champion. I got a run around until my installer was able to speak with Mr. Pinto.

Then they sent me the breather kit.

I went to a local Toyota dealer and got a seal for mine should I ever need it.

They are significantly less expensive then buying them from Champion and you get them a lot quicker. Champion gave me the part # I needed.
