2005 Titan 4x4 truck. I had a new set of tires put on my truck. The tire shop noticed fluid leaking onto the back plate of the brake on the right rear of my truck. I took it to my mechanic and he said it was gear lube leaking out of the axle seal and contaminated the e-brake and pads for that wheel. He also had to change the bearing because it was pressed on between the seal.

2005 Nissan Titan, rear axle seals are leaking, could spray onto brakes and become a major safety issue. This is a major issue with thousands of Nissan Titans, if you do an internet search on google for Nissan Titan axle seal leak, you will find thousands of people with this problem. If these bad axle seals cause fluid to contact brake rotor, it could cause braking issues or accidents. Nissan has a TSB# ntb10-032 that discusses this problem, but this needs to be a safety recall before someone is killed.
My 2004 Nissan Titan rear diff seals leak and has caused a brake failure. I pulled out of my driveway and was driving down the road when all of a sudden my rear end locks up. It took a few moments to get her going again in reverse. I jacked it up and removed the tires and removed the rotors. The pad on the emergency brake system fail off. It still had plenty of pad left on it. My father looked at it and noticed the fluid leaking from my rear end. He told me that probably caused the failure due to the contamination. Replaced the pad and added some oiled to the rear end. I have researched this issue online and found numerous complaints about this and other brake failures also. There should be a recall for this issue. My exhaust manifold leaks also. I am replacing it too. This is a known issue with the Titans. This may be of more concern with the epa. They have been know to crack.

2005 Titan, 36,000 miles rear seal failure, leaking fluid on rear brakes.
The front and rear wheel seals and spacers are faulty and causing fluid to leak out onto the brakes and brake pads. Which could cause fire, braking problems and if unfixed could cause the front/rear end to go out on the truck.
At 55,000 miles the rear axle seals failed on my 2004 Nissan Titan. The seal failure caused a leak which saturated the rear brake apparatus and reduced its holding ability. I reported this to my local Nissan dealer and it was repaired under warranty. I was told that an upgraded rear axle was installed to address the root cause of the premature seal failure. At 138,000 miles the rear axle seals have failed again despite regular fluid changes, and the rear brake apparatus is once again soiled with gear lube. I believe this constitutes a safety hazard and should be addressed as a recall. The dealer refuses to repair under warranty and states that there is no recall. Based on my research, this is a very widespread failure on the Nissan Titan and there are thousands of other Titan owners in the u. S. With the same problem.
Rt rear axle seal leak, 65k. Safety hazard, fluid leaking on hot surface.
I have a 2004 Nissan Titan, I have had to replace the rear axle seals twice already. (once March 2009 and once about 1. 5 years ago. Warranty covered, but I am getting close to my warranty limit. I know that this is also a safety issue, because the fluid leaks down on your brakes, which is a big factory fault. I was just hoping that someone could help me, and other Titan owners, for the safety and money, out of pocket when warranty is up. Nissan should be held responsible for this and come up with sometype of permanent fix. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you brian castle.
Rear seals on my Titan leaked all of the fluid out. I had filled my tires with air several days before and noticed nothing. All of the gear oil was gone.

On my 2005 Nissan Titan, both of my rear axle seals failed with only 48,000 miles on the vehicle. The fluid leaks axle lubricant by the rear wheels, which gets onto the rear disk brakes, which makes the rear brakes ineffective, especially when pulling a trailer. Nissan replaced the seals, however the popular belief of the cause of this is a 1-way valve vent that allows the pressure within the axle to escape, but doesn't let air back into the axle. This occurrence causes a vacuum inside the axle, which pulls on the axle seals and causes them to age prematurely.
