I actually had just popped the hood the day before to recharge the AC refrigerant, so the radiator leak was definitely new. Agreed that the cable might have ended up being a good thing in the end, might've been a while longer before I found out about the coolant leak! Thanks again for all the help.

Thanks so much for the help! Turns out the two issues were a cracked radiator (right next to the outflow hose) and a broken shifter cable. Was able to get the radiator fixed quickly, and the local Toyota dealer was able to order the shifter cable faster than the Lexus dealer, so it arrived this...

Just started a cross country road trip (Orlando to Seattle) in my dad’s old GX (2006) he gave me and wouldn’t you know it, two days in… disaster! Had never had any major issues, and we paid for a bunch of both routine and preventative maintenance with our longtime mechanic before the trip, so...
