RX-330 leaking axle seal
Our 2005 RX330 recently developed a leaking right axle oil seal which we had repaired in our local transmission shop. This was very disappointing since the car has low (71,000) miles. I have been told that the RX 330 uses the same transmission as the Highlander and Toyota have issued a service bulletin T-SB-0138-10 which addresses this issue.
Have other people had the same problem? This seems like this type of failure should not be acceptable in a premium vehicle like the Lexus.
I am interested to hear other opinions.

Welcome to Club Lexus, DDashpot.
For the sake of the conversation, here is the Toyota TSB in question. Not sure about the one for Lexus as there is limited information in what I could see, however, I believe it is the second URL below:
