well i was changing my oil today and i noticed that i have a leak i believe its from my coolant because thats the only fluid thats low.
im assuming its the water pump? i took off the mud guard and noticed that the one of the pulleys is leaking. if u were facing the car head on its the pulley bottom right on the serpantine belt (sp?)
can someone confirm if thats the water pump on a g300 for me.

well the pulley thats leaking is directly under the PS reservoir/pump. from what i can see the PS pump isnt the the problem because the fluid leaking is clearish/yellow, and its leaked so much but my PS reservoir is still full. also, isnt the PS fluid just toyota ATF type 4 so that should make it a reddish color.
also i have smelt the oil it does not really smell like anything and it doesnt have a burn smell either

oh sorry that i missed informed u, but it was before i changed my oil.
i scheduled an appt with the stealership for tomorrow, i also have some problems with my ac/heater vents. during this past winter the vents towards the footwell were not blowing heat.

Is it blowing anything or just cold air?
Did you try to auto self-calibrate the solenoids?
Mine had the problem of not blowing any air through the center vent until I recalibrated it:
From memory , hold down the top-right and bottom-right buttons (not the temp) as you turn on the ignition lights (do not start). I think you then press the button second from the right on the top.
The AC unit will start a cycle of moving all solenoids and motors. Let this repeat a few times and turn off ignition. And start her up!

so anyways i topped off my coolant reservoir and drove to work, opened up my hood and checked the level now its completely dry.
is that common? i told the service guys that and they said that they cant explain why its doing that but i do not have a leak.
they also explained to me that the leak/oil i see on the mud guard is from spilling motor oil when i change my motor oil. its a lot of oil on that mud guard and i cant remember when i've spilled that much oil when changing my oil.
also to recap the oil/fluid that is leaking is a clear.yellow and has no smell..i dont think it can be motor oil either because i drove over 6k miles and for oil to leak off the mud guard to the ground is highly unlikely

This is exactly how you do it (for non-nav):
Hold down the re-circ AND Auto buttons together on your ac control. Keep holding them down as you turn on the ignition lights (no not start). All lights/LCD will flash on A/C controls. Let go of the buttons.
You will now see any error codes. If you see 21 & 24 these are normal if its not sunny out. Press the re-circ button ONCE. It will now auto-calibrate and let this run a few times. Turn ignition off when you are satisfied.
If there were any other error codes try it again to see if this auto-calibrate fixed it.
Start her up and see if it works!.
If there is any other codes just let me know.
Re coolant leak:
Is your front carpet wet ?
