1999 AWD RX300, 215K. My rear differential is quite moist with what appears to be a leaking lubricant. Can't tell where it is coming from, but appears to be from high up on the housing. Anyone with similar experience?

Go with Amsoil. I wish I had.
I went with Royal Purple, but since then having looked at many studies on gear oil. Royal Purple was near last in almost all cases. Amsoil was the leader in most, if not all scenarios. And, Amsoil is cheaper than what I paid for Royal Purple just getting it is a bit tougher.
