    Hey fellas, thanks in advance for the help. I just picked up a 2Runner and there is pink color on the water pump. The fluid level is good and there are no obvious leaks.

    Has anyone seen this before? Is it a slow leak? Normal?

    This is a 4th gen 4.0 V6

    It’s paint on the fan, it’s supposed to be that color.
