Something is leaking?

2018 TRD OR. Just turned 20k, I’m taking it in for service next week. Anyone had a similar issue and figured out what the problem was?
I looked underneath and it’s not super obvious where the drips are coming from.
At first I thought they were from the AC, but those have normally evaporated eventually.
These drips just started this week, are only on the driver side and are not going away.

 

Is it hydraulic fluid or oil?

 

What color is that fluid, brown, black, clear, red??

 

It seemed thinner than regular oil when I ran my fingers over it, actually I can’t tell what it is!?

 

More clear than a color.

 

Brake fluid is clear and oily, not sure what you have leaking.

 

Could be brake fluid, but it looks like one puddle I see on the driveway has a pink/redness to it. That is going to be transmission fluid, check the transfer case and the engine bay.

 

Maybe the master cylinder has a leak in it or brake booster gone bad

 

That’s a lot of leaking in a week. Check your fluid levels and get it to the dealer without driving it (much) more. Could be a lot of things.

 

I’m taking it in next week for it’s 20k service. Thanks for everyone’s help, I’ll post up what the problem was once I get the truck back.

 

Can you get under the truck with a flashlight to see where it is leaking from?

 

Bump

 

Drips were coming off the steps, and I could not trace them back to anything obvious (to me)!

 

Where's it leaking from? Pop the hood. Steering getting harder? Look by the valve cover, timing chain?

 

Good suggestions....steering is fine, so far.

 

Off the steps?

 

Leaky steps -- thats a new one .

 

in to see result. OP, be careful.


















guess:brake fluid

 

Exactly....I’ll check under the hood again but I since my 20k appt is next week I’ll let the dealer have a shot at the problem. Thanks for everyone’s help.

 

Put a piece of cardboard underneath it tonight and see exactly where it is dripping from in the morning .use a big piece like 4 or 5 foot by 4or 5 foot if you have it .
