2006 nissan titan, rear axle seal leaking onto brake parts.
I have owned a 2006 nissan titan since march 17, 2006 and have had a severe rear axle leak two times in less than 32,000 miles. The first leak was due to a faulty left side axle seal and was replaced under warranty. The latest leak, which was communicating differential oil over the entire underbelly of the truck including the exhaust system and rear brake rotors was determined to be a faulty pinion seal which was repaired under warranty. I am afraid that this will be a recurring issue that may have potential for fire or unsafe vehicle operation due to oil reaching the brake rotors and the exhaust system.
I noticed oil leaking from the transfer case. Brought the truck to santa monica nissan for inspection. Dealership verified the transfer case, left and right rear axle seals leaking. Dealership is replacing parts to correct the failure. This is an ongoing failure for all year model nissan titans.

I have a 2006 nissan titan and been having problems with the rear drive axles leaking differential fluid. I had the first problem happen around november of last year. My right hand side of the axle was leaking so I replaced the seal, spacer, and bearing on that one side only. Now, my left side axle started to leak around april. I started to notice when my rear brakes started smoking while driving down the highway. I've had my vehicle parked since then and in the process of replacing the seal on it.

Rear axle seal failure. I noticed a driver-side rear seal leak yesterday (7/29/2009). Rear seal is leaking differential fluid over rear brakes causing hazard of a brake failure. The vehicle is a 2006 nissan titan king cab xe 2x4 with approximately 25000 mi. Vehicle was purchased new in 2/2007 from dealer. Vehicle has never towed or been off-road. This is a safety concern due to a low mileage vehicle with no abuse having a mechanical failure that could affect a safety feature such as the brakes.
Faulty rear axle seals on a 2006 nissan titan could cause rear end failure at speed or lack of braking ability of the rear brakes.
2006 nissan titan rear axle seals leaking. Seems to be fairly common among titan owners.
I have a 2006 nissan titan 4wd. Last year, after a long trip, I took it to get an oil change, and the mechanic told me the rear axel was leaking. This was in july of 2008, and the vehicle had 48,813 miles on it. I got it fixed. Then 11 months later, again after a long trip, the same thing happened. This was in june of 2009, and the vehicle had 63,914 miles on it. I went online to see if anyone else was having this problem, and apparently it is an ongoing problem that is happening to a large number of nissan titan owners. Some are reporting that the oil is leaking onto the rear brakes, causing them to fail. I have not noticed this yet, but each time I caught my leak early. I have also read that the 2008 titan has a new rear axel design that has addressed this issue. Obviously, nissan is aware of the problem, because they have already addressed the issue in the later models. This is a very dangerous problem, and nissan should recall the earlier models to rectify the situation.
Rear axel seals leak oil onto the rear brake pads.
Right rear axle seal blew out and leaked differential fluid. Differential fluid leaking on rear brake rotors which could cause brake failure, which was a major safety concern to me. At time of failure at 8000 miles no suspension modifications had been done to vehicle. Also, the rear differential oil will slowly leak and cause the rear differential to lose fluid and fail. Nissan replaced spacer axle (43070-7s200), bearing (40210-7s210), and seal (43252-7s200). As this seemed to be a very common problem with the nissan titan, nissan should address this issue and offer a permanent fix so would not be faced with the safety issue in the future.
Rear differential is leaking where the axle meets the tire on both sides.

I continue to have a constant whining sound coming from the rear differential unit at 55 & 60 MPH. The unit was replaced by the dealer at 29335 miles because it was whining at 55 MPH. The new unit was quit when new but now is as loud as the previous one at 60mph. This sound is annoying & never goes away while driving these speeds. I am concerned it is a design flaw & will either fail when it is out of warranty or cause me to be stranded. I hear a lot about axle seal leaks & diff. Units failing on the titans. The current mileage on the truck is approx. 35k.
