Use some engine degreaser, wash it off and dry it, then you will be able to better see the source of the leak. From those photos, and if the fluid is indeed red, it will have to do with your power steering. Could be the high pressure hose, the rack, pump, etc. Looks like some of it is also some leakage from your oil filter.

The only red fluid on Toyota is coolant and type -IV tranny oil right?
Maybe your transmission lines where it goes to the radiator has leaks.
I suggest you to get an engine cleaner and spray where the grimes and sludges are. After it's cleaned maybe you can find out what's leaking.

are there tranny lines that run to the radiator and are right in front of the engine? I found where the leak is coming from...
it's the line I'm showing here but it's further up the line where it makes a connection w/ another portion of itself more up towards the drivers side where you can't see in the pic

Dexron which is supposed to be used in P/S is also red. There are tranny lines on the passenger side running from tranny to radiator as well as P/S lines right there where your pics are. Coolant and oil should be easy to differentiate. Good Luck.

What he said. Lexus used Dexron for their power steering fluid. Check the area around your pump. It's common to leak from the pump area down to the alternator and to the rack area.
That's a **** load of gunk. Go buy 5 cans of brake parts cleaner and get to cleanin. Make sure you put something down on the floor as not to get that all over your floor!
