Well upon popping my hood for a weekly fluid levels check, I noticed what seems to be dried radiator fluid on the block, head, hood, and various other places. Bellow I've attached some pictures, I can't seem to find or pinpoint a leak of any kind! Fluid levels are all okay, no overheating or high temps. I'm stumped and ____ed off! Any thoughts? Called the dealer to see if my warranties were up, and well of course you always get the "bring it in" response. I said no, look it up and see with my vin #, powertrain is still effective. Ugh, always something!!!

 

it looks like its being flung of your belt. one side of the alternator pulley is covered in it. i bet its your water pump leaking

 

Yeah it's probably your water pump. A lot of people with 05-06 had theirs go out prematurely.

 

I was worried that's what it might have been. Well just seems Toyota has
been proving themselves over and over! I did notice some dried fluid on the the bolts were the water pump is located.... Is this covered under my powertrain warr? Hope to heaven it is!!! Not to worried about it then if it's covered. Just to add, It's definitely the water pump, crawled under and found fluid dripping off the pulley. Did Scion ever issue a recall if water pumps were failing like this?

 

water pump...just replaced mine today ..i got 06 scion tc with 62000 miles
