leak

Hey everyone, I recently noticed water leaking from the sunroof and started troubleshooting the drains. I poured water into the rear left sunroof tray corner, and it drains out the back just fine. However, the rear right side didn’t drain at all, so I tried inserting a weed whacker line — and...

Hi All, After getting home from a short 30-40 minute round trip drive today I noticed what sounded like water sizzling on something hot. I looked under and there was a drip from the plastic skid plate. It was a clear liquid with no smell. I took the plastic cover off and there was a bit of...

Today I there was heavy rain during my drive this morning and I noticed on my passenger side was wet and underneath the glove box towards the right side I could see slight dripping. Also the top of the passenger pillar near the sun visor was wet. Is this the notorious clogged sunroof drain? Or...

Hello all, This is my first post on IH8MUD and also my very first Land Cruiser. For some background info, it is a 1999 with 294,000 miles. Relatively low rust but by no means perfect. I’ve owned it for about 2 weeks now and love it, but this is the first major rain it has seen and boy… does it...

I recently replaced the windshield on my 200 Series based on recommendations from this forum, using a 3rd party company Lexus of Austin referred me to (which I won’t name yet). After installation, I noticed the seal at the top was very wavy and made a lot of wind noise above 60 mph...

Hi, I've seen this mentioned a few times in different threads but to my knowledge no one has detailed the exact solution. So here goes. As soon as temperatures would drop below 0°C (32 F) my 1991 PZJ-77 would have a hard time starting. The colder it would get the worse the symptoms. Chuffing...

I walked out to my car this morning and saw a big puddle of green stuff on the driver side. I think it is the radiator leaking so I looked inside the radiator fluid reservoir and it looked like the same stuff on the floor but I wanted to have other opinions before I replaced it. Also where can...

I’m fairly sure this is the cause of a leak in my PS system, a few drips per minute. What is this hose called? It seems like the leak isn’t originating at the pump but a few inches further where the metal line is fitted to the rubber section. Replace the whole line if so, nothing I can tighten...

Recently made the jump into the LC community and subsequently this incredibly community. Ive read every thread I can find on the common leaks so if I need to post this elsewhere, just let me know. I have a dripping leak pictures below (interior pic) when water is applied at the rain gutter joint...

Hello! I'm a pretty new Land Cruiser owner and getting to know this vehicle has been super fun but I've never worked on cars up until now. I have this coolant leak that starts going wild very randomly but when it starts leaking, it goeeeees... I believe I found the source of the leak but I don't...

Hi, All. I took my ‘05 LX470 to my nearest Toyota dealer for a pretty good list of repair items I didn’t want to take on. New front upper and lower control arms, new shocks, new radiator, hoses, thermostat, fan clutch, and new exhaust manifolds and gaskets. I picked it up after hours this...

First-timer alert! Just finished up a trip to Maine, and noticed some oil on the housing. Inspected to find this mess. Looks like a seal failure to me. Also looks like the steering arm on passenger is incredibly loose. Looks like King pin has backed itself off and let some grease leak. Edit~ a...

I had a stream of smoke coming out of this area. Is there a way to replace whatever seal that’s there or is it time for a rebuilt unit?

I have a 2001 100 series. I replaced power steering air control valve or switch (that gives air from the upper manifold to the power steering pump for help steering when parked) and it was driving fine. Then I started it up and heard my power steering whining. Looked in the reservoir and it was...

Ok guys I’m new to 100s and only owned a few 80s in years past, I have searched and only found answers related to the read ac leaking ect. I purchased a 2003 lx470 with 230k on the clock. I looked at undercarriage and general inspection of the engine but flat out missed the big hose hanging on...

Hi All I have just bought myself another 80 and in Australia I need to get a 'Roadworthy' completed to complete the transfer of sale. As part of that roadworthy I have been told I need to fix a leak from the Power-steering pump, Steering Box and Front Crank Seal. None of these are major leaks...

Hi guys! Newbie to this forum. I have a 75 fj40 that has been restored. After driving it and it sets for a few minutes, antifreeze leaks out of the reservoir drain hose. Any ideas on why this happens and possible fixes? Thank you in advance.

This looks and smells like transmission fluid. It’s red and seems to be coming from where the transmission mates with the transfer case. Anybody seen this kind of leak before? Gonna try some at205 before I drop the transfer case.

I am having large puddling under my truck. Just started recently. We located the leak it’s on top of the shock tower on the passenger side front. It’s leaking constantly and my reservoir will soon be empty. What are my options? Will I be able to drive it once it’s out of fluid? I’m...
