I just got a 2004 tacoma double cab yesterday and I have noticed a leak that I think is coming from the passenger side cv axle. I have attached a closeup with where I think it's leaking and one from farther away showing it's the cv axle. I am new to tacoma. Please tell me it's not going to cost a ton to fix. Thanks in advance for the help.

It might be the cv axle gasket that needs replaced. Which is like 5 bucks

I just replaced everything with new in my front suspension/ drive line.
You can replace as cheap as $60 dollars for a complete re manufactured axle assembly. Buy a new one if your keeping it for long time or for a few hundred thousand more miles under a $100 for new from Napa or many other parts suppliers! You can always go to Toyota and for seal and axle pay just under or around $400
