Oil Leak

What's the color of the oil (even red ATF may pick up dirt as it drips and look black, but check).

What does the oil smell like? Engine oil, ATF, and gear oil all smell different.

How thick is the oil? How does it feel between your fingers? Brake fluid or antifreeze feel different from oil.

Actually this morning the light was just right that when I was underneath the truck I could catch the color of the fluid. It's green, and though I couldn't get my hands in, it looks like the right spot for the bottom rad hose. This is rather a relief, since a rad hose is a pretty cheap fix.

Just a follow-up to this, and I hope it doesn't represent anything too serious. I got a better look at the fluid today, and it seems a little oily. It's definitely coolant, and I can't find any evidence of any thing in the oil or in the coolant in the radiator. I'm taking it to my local Toyota dealer, but I wondered if anybody here had any thoughts. The vehicle is running fine, there's no overheating or anything like that.

Getting used to talking to myself here. :-)

Took up to the dealer and it turned out it was a leak in the throttle bypass hose. An easy $15 fix.
