    Coolant leak behind rear tire?

    This looks and feels like coolant. Could it be? From behind the rear tire? 2021, 67k. I don't yet know the systems on this truck like i did on previous land cruisers

    Coolant leaks under throttle body

    Hey all, new here. Just bought a lx470 and have noticed I'm losing coolant. Can anyone give me some more info on what I need to do here? I know I need to replace that hose probably or at least the ring. But what's going on with the bit going into the engine itself, fixable? Or replace that...

    Heater hose tee's, dodged a bullet

    I noticed by accident some coolant deposits on one of the tee's so I ordered the metal ones when doing the timing belt. One of them totally disintegrated when removing it. I suppose I should do more routine inspections.

    Coolant leaking from bottom of engine block

    Hi all, Had the water pump and timing belt on my 1999 Lx470 replaced by a shop a few days ago because it was leaking. After driving home from work today I noticed a puddle of coolant under the engine and discovered a steady leak from the bottom back of the engine. Anyone know what could be...

    Is there a thread for behind the dash rattle?

    Hey everyone. Appreciate all the help on here. As I'm on here today getting ready to assemble almost a complete new coolant system, I'm reminded of a noise that came only for a few seconds then gone for the rest of the day. It sounds like somebody dropped a couple pebbles down a plastic pipe...

    Coolant hose Leak Created by PowerSteering Pulley?

    2004 Tundra, high miles 370k, just purchased and pretty much have everything buttoned and running well. Notice a coolant leak coming from front of engine. Long story short there is a gash on the back on the main coolant hose that looks to have been created by it coming in contact with the...

    throttle body coolant hose bypass (and acceptable engine temps)?

    i've got a coolant leak that seems to be coming from above the starter and i think we tracked it down to the throttle body coolant hose. i think this hose serves to keep the throttle body from freezing up which i don't need right now? anyway can i plug this here and pull the hose and drive it if...

    Overheating Transmission

    I've been getting A/T temp lights. 1st time was shortly after my timing belt was done. I pulled over & found the Rad reservoir was empty. Let it idle as manual says to do for temp lite, added coolant & waited for light to go out. Continued on to an off-road trip and no issues. Few weeks later...

    Hi, The mechanic changed the coolant from green to red and i am not sure he did a proper flush or a flush at all. I noticed a small gel. Is there a risk of damaging the system? I am aware of the risk of mixing two different coolants. The question is if no flush or not a proper flush was...

    FJ40 2F Engine Coolant Flush & Fill Maintenance

    Do not defer your 2F coolant flushing.… The FSM says to “change coolant if excessively dirty”. Well, my coolant was a 50/50 mix of Toyota coolant and did not appear dirty but wanted to flush and fill anyway. Glad I did. First, my radiator is an aftermarket 4 row type made by CSF. The drain...

    Coolant leak from tailgate area

    I hav caught the scent of coolant a couple of times over the last week. This morning I came outside to find this. On further inspection I cannot find any leaks under the truck, just from the tailgate area. I’m pretty baffled. I thought that the rear heater core was only in the center console...

    Coolant in my oil, possible causes?

    1993 FZJ80. I did a full head job 5 yrs/47k miles ago, following the FSM exactly. I used OEM gaskets. Hunting for a coolant loss in my truck (using UV dye) i discovered a small amount of dye in my oil. Praying that it was from my oil cooler i did a pressure test and got 160-170 (dry) across 5...
