The axle fits something like this, although this is on the opposite side, though the seal is definitely the issue.

Thanks for the help - do you know the part numbers of the parts i need to replace?

This is a really helpful service you've given me - at least i can see that there may be light at the end of the tunnel..

This is my wife's car and i have a Celica GT4 St205 that i work on all the time as im ok with doing this kind of work - its just a little new to me being a different engine and all...

Thanks again

I am sorry that I don't know the actual part numbers offhand, but it is called a differential seal, that much I am sure of, it's basically a round ring/tube about 2 inches in length.
