I have recently had my half shaft axle replaced on my passenger side and I am now seeing a fluid leaking from where the shaft is coming out of the training any ideas or advice

Welcome to NICO!

Firstly, did you do the work yourself or have it done at a shop? If you had it done by someone, save yourself the stress and take it back to them and have them make it right.

If not, we'll go from there.

As ricer x says, bring it back to the shop. Could be the output shaft seal on the transmission. But the shop didn't finish the job. It is on them to fix it correctly. If they give you a hard time, contact your local better buisness bureau.

well come to find out that is is not the half axle that is leaking is actually the oil cooler housing itself; Nissan wants way to much to replace it of course. That is the least of my concerns currently; now I am having some acceleration issues; I recently replaced my spark plugs because of this issue, but Nissan also says that my fuel injectors need to be cleaned due to miles etc.. When I replaced my spark plugs the lag or sluggish response/or pause before acceleration stopped temporarily but has now come back and seems to be worse then before. When I initially start my car for the first time after sitting a while or overnight the car accelerates normally but if I come to an abrupt stop and then accelerate from a stop the pause is somewhere around 2-4 seconds maybe longer; also when I've been driving a good amount of distance the problem seems to be then as well....any suggestions or advice will be appreciated.
