PS fluid is max
Coolant Level hasn't changed since i bought it
Brake Fluid hasn't changed since i bought it
Valve cover and oilpan gaskets recently changed and havn't notice any sign of leak

What color is ATF?

seems to be dripping on to the bottom of the tranny housing (AUTO)

cant see any other leaks from anywhere else

atf should be red.

toyota uses red coolant, but someone could have switched it out.

yellow/green... first thing that comes to my mind is coolant.

The question is not how far. The question is, do you possess the constitution, the depth of faith, to go as far as is needed?

Doesn't Toyota use Pentosin G12 50/50 with Distilled water for coolant? As in, Toyota coolant is red/pink?

What does this stuff smell like? Just throwing it out there, maybe your slinging liquidy grease....Other than that, the only thing that could leak thats near the trans (closest) is either your coolant reservoir, or your water outlet.

LOL, you are pretty crazy to taste things that leak out of the car, Coolant is super toxic man, don't do that!

Smell is enough!

I smell all fluids to see what it is, and if that does not help me, i take a bit of each fluid that it might be, drip it on the ground next to it and compare.

i dont think a taste test will kill you, youd have to injest quite a bit. I dont recomend it either. Maybe you cam wash it down with some hydraulic fluid too. J/k dont do that either, youll never leave the bathroom

For us, anyhow. If you have a pet (dog, cat, etc), I believe a teaspoon of ethylene glycol (anti-freeze) is enough to kill them in a painful manner. The worst part is that it's incredibly sweet smelling, so dogs and cats alike will sniff it out and actively seek and ingest it. Moral of the story, keep your pets away from a garage or anywhere there might happen to be coolant.

That is true. And people do that to their neighbors pets too. But really getting off track here. Did the O/P ever find out what the fluid at least smelled like...or was for that matter.
