Okay, so I tried to wipe that and it is dry .
I could not get any substance off of it. and the red mark in the upper right corner of the bolt that's some kind of seal or something and my radiator leak is coming directly from the hose going to the radiator where it clamps.
so I wiped all the red radiator leaking stuff off and then I went for a drive. and the red light the red brake light is not on. it didn't come on once, not a single time?
and then I came home pop the hood, I saw a new red radiator fluid and it's coming from the radiator hose.
but that picture of the timing chain is that a concern? because I could not get anything off of it. I did just what you said , I took a paper towel and tried to wipe it. It is very dry.
is that just Road driving dirt? or is that a does that look like something leaking ,that I have to figure out ?because it's not wet.
I checked my brake fluid reservoir after I went for the drive and it is lower now. it's not you know dangerously low, but like you said some of the brake fluid has left the reservoir and it was full right on the full line when I left.
so then I looked at the shocks on the driver's side. it does not have that round piece that's dripping something like the passenger side. but the rubber thing below the big spring at the top of the tire, that rubber whatever it is, it's all tore up on the driver's side. but I did not see any wet leakage on the driver side.
I'm going to try and take a picture but not right this moment. so then I checked the passenger side where it was leaking there wasn't anything dripping. so that's what's happening .the radiator leak is from the hose I'm like 96% certain. I'm going to undo the clamp and push it further .it doesn't look like it's, it looks like it needs to get pushed a little bit further in .
now my only question is that dark spot on the transmission chain cover .is that a concern or is it just residual dirt ?thank you for your help! I'm so grateful im researching the shocks in prius
