I have a 99 v6 camry, today i decided to change my oil but i don't know what liquid is leaking. So if someone could help me out, and one more thing i went over a speed bump that has scraped the bottom of my car for the pass two day due to my school construction. no matter how slow i go through it still scrapes. please let me know what it is. thank you

Looks like a power steering or oil leak. How's the level of fluid Iin the power steering reservoir? Try cleaning everything with brake cleaner and look from which the leak originates.

Edit: which side of the car is the leak coming from? If the driver's it could be the transmission pan gasket.

Can you see if the valve covers are leaking? Is the front of the block covered in oil? Could also be the cam or cranks seals behind the timing belt.

I don't see any oil on the front the engine, i'll check it an get back to you where the oil is coming from or what ever fluid it is.
