I'm confused here. This is on a 2016 4x4. I noticed a small pool of thin pink fluid under my car in garage, about 6" in diameter. At first I thought I had a transmission leak. It didn't leak again for a week, then I had probably a half cup on the floor...enough to run out to the side of the vehicle. Same fluid.
I removed my skid plate, and saw that it was coming from this transverse-mounted thing just in front of and below the front differential. (Front is to left in photo.)
What the heck is it? Thought maybe power steering fluid, but these don't have even have a steering fluid reservoir that I can find. Auto Zone tells me it's coolant, but pink?
Perhaps related, I have had a rhythmic rub in front hubs. Replaced the vacuum valve a few thousand miles ago with no improvement. Is this the hub actuator?
Transmission and engine are dry. 4x4 works. Thinking it is the electronic hub actuator but can't find how to diagnose or work on it.
Any help?
