Coolant or ATF (1 Viewer)

[02Bigtree]

I've got an 02 Sequoia, 252k daily driven, offroader, pack mule, etc.
Everything has been great, no fluid or oil leaks up until sometime this past week (I noticed it yesterday)
I dug through the 100 4.7 threads, and found one thing I think it may be, but wanted to get as much info as possible. Below you can see what I'm looking at, the video is after a good power wash to clean all the old stuff off, then I drove it about 5 miles to see if I could pin point the leak. I can't, it doesn't appear to be coming off the block. But maybe you guys can tell me something! It tastes like coolant, and has a much more watery consistency than atf

How about the steering rack seal leaking. I had to replace mine recently at 246K miles.

It’s coolant. The rack was replaced last spring. Tho the reservoir leaks and the hoses need to be replaced. But the rack itself is good
