Yeah, ill probably take it to a garage...i dont know how serious it is and dont want to cause any further problems by neglecting it. It still has a minor drip, but not everyday, and in about the same quantity as the pics above.

IN the diff case? That sounds complicated. What is it on the importance scale to get it fixed? I never considered power steering fluid, I'll take a quick smell to see if it matches.

Yeah, its got a strong "bitter" odor to it. Nothing like motor oil or transmission fluid. Think maybe the cold weather is causing a seal to shrink?

ok...might be the transfer case? two more pics after crawling underneath... Any idea what might be causing it? How would I go about fixing it?

Hey all, first I tried searching for the answer...but have you ever tried searching "small leak"? A lifetime of reading popped up. Anyway, I have noticed over the last 2 days or so a very small leak underneath the engine area of the 4runner after letting her warm up in the cold mornings. I...

Thanks for fixing. Always liked that color on the 4runner. I'm looking forward to seeing what she looks like with her new wheels on. Keep us posted!

Yeah, I can't see them either. It looks good in text form though! now we just need the pics.

I'd love to see a pic of her with those wheels on. I was looking at the very same ones for my 4runner.

Hello, I was wondering if you fine folks could help me locate a part number for me. I have searched so many times and have come up with nothing. The attached photo shows a complete 3rd Gen roof rack assembly. What I need help with is the part number that is circled in red. They are the nuts...

Looking for the four sets of nuts and bolts that hold down the roof rack crossbars...shipping to 63376. Thanks!

Looking for the four sets of nuts and bolts that hold down the roof rack crossbars...shipping to 63376. Thanks! not sure if you sold the roof rack, someone mentioned it, but didnt see a follow-up.

Not sure if that was actually coolant or not. I ended up changing out the rad. I did notice my trans fluid was about a quart low after warming her up...which was more than i lost with the rad change. Other than having to top off that and the coolant reservoir after it cools off (drove her around...

Here are a couple more pictures showing where the leaking is coming from...

So I went out and checked the 4runner this morning. She is still draining coolant...I have nearly filled a gallon milk jug now. I'll be replacing the rad today...what a pain in the arse. I also checked the transmission fluid, its a nice thick red with no adverse odors. The fluid level seems a...
