Is This A Coolant Leak?

I noticed some "pink residue" while changing my oil this evening. Is this a coolant leak? I'm not sure what parts are pictured, but I'm guessing that is the water pump area since the pink residue is also inside a pulley.

I currently have 85K miles on my 2008 and purchased the extended warranty which pushes it out to 100K. QUESTION: If it is a coolant leak would this be covered under the extended "Platinum" warranty I purchased?





Bottom of the water pump looking up from under the car.

 

It wasn't an aftermarket warranty. I purchased the extended warranty from the Toyota dealer the day I bought my car.

 

What is leaking? The inverter coolant pump or actual engine coolant pump?

YES

 

No deductible. I'm looking at the paper right now. It says "Toyota Extra Care Vehicle Service Agreement" PLAN Code: BB7, 6 years, 100,000 miles.

The Effective Date was 3/30/2008, so I'm within that.

 

I would think so. I just got done reading the "Coverage & Exclusions" and Water Pump (doesn't say what type of pump) is included as are all "Seals and Gaskets". I paid $900 for the Platinum Level when I bought the car new in 2008. This is the first "problem" I've ever had with it. I still haven't had a Check Engine light ever come on in the 85K miles.

 

I've read both the engine loop and inverter loop share the same pink Toyota Super Long Life Coolant. I have an appointment to get the leak inspected. If the dealer mechanic determins that the pump needs replaced, would all the pink SLLC be replaced?

I'm also going to to have the Inverter Water Pump and Steering Shaft Recall done at the same time. When they take the Inverter Water Pump out, would that also call for the replacement of the SLLC?

 

It is under warranty thank goodness.

 

Which pump are you refering to....the Engine or Inverter Pump? Even if draining the coolant system isn't called for in the recall (I'm not sure if it is or isn't) they should replace ALL the coolant free of charge?

 

So, even though the Inverter and Engine both use the same pink SLLC, they are two separate systems and each require their own drain/fill?

If the Engine Water Pump ends up needing to be replaced (covered 100% by my warranty), would my warranty also cover the gallons of SLLC that needs to be replaced? I noticed in my Service Agreement fluids are not covered, only parts....but in my case the part and fluid are related to eachother.
