Help Identifying Canister
Jacked my car up to work on the suspension and noticed the bottom of the diff was wet. I get under there and looks like the cause of the leak is this black canister. It's on the drivers side right next to the rear diff. Any ideas what it is and where that broken hose is supposed to go?

Charcoal canister, hose is the vent. I'd say more likely diff or tripoidal joint issue.

Yep, looks like grease or gear oil. The carbon canister captures fuel vapors from the tank into the carbon, and it is self-purged by vacuum from the engine intake when driving. Not possible for it to make the mess you have there.

It does kinda look more like an axle side seal but like cr-rex said , the differential bushings will blow oil too. Either way it seems I’ve been there....
