    2008 Toyota Tundra leaking PT2

    I posted today on this forum about my 2008 Toyota Tundra sr5 V8 leaking underneath. I just went out and checked oil levels on dipstick after it sat and cooled down (it’s cold out here) and the level seems to be ok. Went out and ran my fingers where it’s leaking and rubbed them on a paper towel. I also wiped the dipstick on a different paper towel for a side by side to see if it’s the same color. The left paper towel is oil from the dipstick, the right paper towel is from what’s leaking underneath. Am I crazy or does this not look like engine oil to me??? What’s leaking underneath don’t smell like anything to me. Definitely don’t smell like engine oil.

    Could be transmission fluid. WS gets dark pretty quickly and can look like dirty engine oil

    i really hope it’s not trans fluid but I’m
    Leaning towards it being that honestly. :(…could it be power steering related too?? I’ve heard that fluid is a reddish color as well.
