    Looks like the area of the coolant bypass pipe. Older tacomas had a plastic pipe that would eventually leak. There is a redesigned metal version of the pipe now.

    Looks like coolant bypass pipe as stated above. Unfortunately the intake manifold has to be removed to replace the pipe.

    That object you have pictured in your image is the crank position sensor. It cannot leak any coolant as it has no coolant going to it. It is an electrical sensor.
    Up above there is the Coolant bypass pipe as I stated above here.

    Is the fluid pink or green? Looks green to me in the photo. If it's green, it may be a refrigerant leak at compressor. Unless your coolant is green. The location does appear to be coolant pipe mentioned above but best confirm the liquid color.
