Oil Weep

2021, 11,000 miles on the clock, oil weep just enough to make a grimy mess.

What is the doohickey with the pulley?

Anyone experienced similar? Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

TIA.

 

The lower arrow appears to be oil on the bolt to the right of the arrow,
you don't want that dripping down onto the belt.
Wipe it all off and re check frequently.

 

Thanks! Yeah it sucks it has to leak so close to the belt.

 

Appears the thing with a pulley is the power steering pump.

 

Out of the 3yr/36k warranty?

Make sure it's not the timing cover.

 

That is the power steering pump with the pulley and usually where the oil shows up with the timing cover leak that is pretty common to see around here. I just noticed that my 2023 Tacoma has a leak in the same area at 26,000 miles. I snapped some pictures and am monitoring the leak and oil level. I will point it out in the future to the service dept. at my dealership. I plan to have it fixed under warranty if it is indeed the timing cover oil leak. I believe that repair will fall under the 5 year 60,000 mile warranty if the service department you use determines that it is an oil leak and not a seep.
