I have an 06 Sienna LE. In the 35k service, the dealer insisted in having a PS flush (unusual) and not in the service manual. I said no, wrote to Toyota, but they told me every dealer should recommend a service when they decide. Anyway, I checked, and found that it was just under the L line (low) so I bought a quarter (under $5) and completed it.
The dealer told me in my case there was no escape of fluids, so maybe is not that unusual for the fluid to drop in level.

Thanks for the reply. Did you need to add fluid again (I added and need to add again...all in about nine months)?

I would check the fluids at every oil change. The hood's open and it'll be in plain view.

Knowing how the economy is, and the need for dealers of getting more revenue, I would go to an independent shop. The can check it for cheap, and if it needs the flush or repair, is going to be maybe $80. It has not needed more fluid (3 weeks).

Thanks- I just took it to a local shop who could not find a leak. He said it is a closed system so you should not normally need to add fluid as I have done a couple of times over the past six months or so.
