    Can’t find this trim piece anywhere

    The key thing you said is "I don't think it is different model to model". If the OP puts down all the vehicle info, the guesswork disappears. 35+ years in the business, taught me that having too much info is better than not enough info.

    In the future, when you post asking for help with a part, you might want to post your vehicle info.

    Help understanding the 5.3

    Mileage? Metal spirals? How small were the metal chunks? Pics? Had the previous owner just replaced the pan bolt? My 162k miles 05 Idles at 50 psi cold and just below 40 psi warm.

    There are just some days I wish I didn't turn wrenches

    I had no choice. The bolts are trapped in the hub with no hole to reach a socket in. Ain't no way those 4 bolts will not be tight when it leaves my driveway.

    Got back to the 2008 4Runner today and did the d/s axle and hub, front rotors, front calipers, new pads and hardware and bled it all out. Stops smooth and no pulsations.

    Yea, you want to be sure you have a way to air back up. When I had a purpose built off road truck, I had an on board air system.

    Fluid on back of engine

    "On rear of engine"? The transmission is "on" the rear of the engine. Something from above, intake or oil sender, could be leaking. Numerous items on the sides have been named. Right now you have seepage, or you would be seeing drops on ground. Time to clean and inspect and post pics.
