Default bad water pump?

So I have a 2007 IS250 and recently got my water pump replaced at the dealership. Every now and then i would some coolant around the top of the reservoir near the cap area. I would clean it up only to find it again after a few days. My question is this normal and do you guys know what it could be?

Probably just needs a new cap... the tend to wear out and they stay sealed so long as they aren't opened - when they are opened, which it obviously was, the rubber seal deteriorates more...

$10-$15, any auto parts store... not necessary for an OEM part...

Default Parts Identification rx450h

Can someone please identify what part this is.





The peice has a cracked in it and also the hose "blue liquid leaking?" This is located at the front left bumber, next to the left fog light. Autobody shop called it a "Transmission Oil Pump"....but i wouldn't know what it really is.

Usually has to do with the vacuum solenoid valves... replacement of said valves is the only fix, generally...

That's a picture if it taken by the auto body shop when the front bumber was removed. It's located right behind the left fog Light location.

not sure the problem? I mean, they aren't super easy to get to, but everything in the way has to come out...

In reference to the fuel rail, how do you depressurize the fuel or do you just open the cap? Sorry but its my first time doing Injectors.
