First off, I just want to apologize for my lack of automotive technical expertise, but I'm a proud Camry owner trapped in a land of Ford and Chevy owners and very few folks to bounce questions off of. I've got a 97 Camry V6 with 189,500 miles. Thing rolls like it will never die; last major repair was a blown water pump about three years ago. Other than that, just routine maintenance (oil, belts, tires, etc.). Last week, I started noticing that the car's leaking something. It's been leaving small pools on my garage floor on the driver's side under the front of the car. Seems too watery to be oil, but it's too "dirty" to be pure condensation or whatnot (it's not red or green or yellow... just looks, literally, like dirty water). Only other symptom is a "whirring" sound under the hood when the car idles which changes pitch whenever I turn the wheel (as I'm backing out of the garage, etc.) My owner's manual was swiped a couple years back when someone broke into the car, but I'm trying to track one down online. In the meantime, just wanted to throw it out there in case anyone had any thoughts as to what it might be. Again, sorry for the lack of technical savvy, and thanks in advance for any suggestions.
