OK ive noticed that the i have a leav were the diff joins to the wheel
its like a big ball join (dont knwo wat its called)
Any way its leak alot of fluid which i cna only guess would be diff fluid
enough to leave a puddle on the concret every time i drive in
and the right side aint too far from being the same
I think it was being helpd by grease a ddirt and when i washed it it strted to piss out

how hard is it to change
and what seal or seals do i need to get

Sounds like your inner axle oil seal is gone. The best way to fix it would be to get a swivel hub kit which includes all the seals in the hub and a set of kingpin bearings. You can get these kits from FWD or Sunshine State at around $130 or so. This thread http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/PHP_Modul ... swivel+hub is for an FJ40 but the principle is the same and alot of the seals are the same for hilux as long as your hilux is a solid axle front.
