    Went out and saw it this morning. Front passenger side. It looks like oil, but when I smelled it def wasn't. Checked all fluids and all seemed fine except coolant, which was a bit low. So I'm not sure what it could be, especially given the location it's coming from. Any help would be appreciated . Thx
    BTW it's a 2011 pre runner with 105k.

    Must be an optical illusion but to me it looks like the wet spot is on the underside of the tire as in it couldn’t be getting directly dripped on

    It looks like the puddle was there when you drove in, the tire picked up a little when you drove over it. Park in a different spot and recheck.

    I didn't drive it that day. I saw it when I came out it in the morning. So I get the puddle but how did it get on the tire? Looks like it dripped down onto the tire then the ground.

    Only thing i can think of is someone parked there while you were gone, you came in and rolled over it. Is it black like exhaust?
