I have a 2005 Toyota 4Runner v6 4wd with extended warranty. Since the day I have bought this thing with 2000 miles I think there has been a problem with a fluid leak around the transfer case or transmission. It appears to be a thick fluid with a gold tone and it's not dirty. It does not smell like transmission or engine oil. I was told that it's dealing with the undercoating around the transmission area, which was cleaned off by the dealership. The fluid does not appear to be anything that is used in the vehicle, but it drips right below the transfer case on the black plate. You can't really tell if a seal is leaking and it appears to be coming from the top of the transfer or transmission finding the way down to where you can see it.

Can't they spray something on the transmission or transfer case that will show where fluid is leaking from? The 4Runner is driven to/from work and on trips, not much trailering or 4wd used.

Thanks for your time.
