leak

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...

Have isolated the ticking sound to an exhaust manifold leak. Spark plugs torqued to 18 ft/lbs and it persists. Ticking started after shop repaired blown plug/coil. I'm reasonably confident they reused the manifold gasket when they put it back together but it could legitimately be a leak in the...

Been chasing down a fuel leak at the tank on a Japanese gas hilux. Leaks when filled, to a point. Initially I suspected a leak at the fill/overflow hoses (red arrow), since it is lower than the high point of the tank. Gas tank of a 22R American truck shown for reference. We pulled the bed...

Hello folks. Been experiencing variou coolant leak issues after having my timing belt changed a few hundred miles ago in December. Almost immediately after I picked up the cruiser after the timing belt/water pump job, I noticed a consistent leak under the rig. Turned out that the water inlet...

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this possible leak that I have somewhere on my rear axle on my 2015 LX570 w/ 111,230 on the ODO. I went back to work yesterday after being off work for the past 5 days. During my 5 day off stretch, I have been consistently driving around like crazy in my LX570...

Hi, We just had an unreal amount of rain (for Southern California, at least), over 9" in 24 hours. The front passenger-side floor and mat were really wet, no standing water but kinda soaked on the front portion. I tried searching and it seems like it could be a sunroof drain leak (other...

Hey guys! 1992 1hdt 80 series gxl has got a leak on the back end near the "out" side of the diesel pump. Has 400xxx and engine is in great condition with no blow by. I noticed this right before doing my diesel filter/oil filter service etc.. havnt noticed any issues with fueling performance...

Am trying to track down the source of a vacuum leak in my 60, still has all the smog equipment that I replaced with silicone hose about 5 years ago. The truck was running fine until last spring, 2023 when it went under a car cover and was left over the Texas summer (No AC). a month or so ago...

Hey guys I noticed this was leaking, what is it how to fix?

It seems that my oil filter is leaking around the top. It's a Fram and I've read that it is easy to overtighten them crushing the gasket. So what and where can I find an appropriate oil filter for replacement and future oil changes? Thanks
