So yesterday noticed the AC wasn’t cooling and the temp was creeping up, today went to look at the radiator and it was low by almost 1 gallon. Topped off, I notice coolant dripping from the bottom, upon further inspection, it appeased to be coming from above the power steering pump and dripping down, I checked the main hoses and then the smaller ones from radiator to system and then the one on top of the block that cools the intake, I cant see any other hoses above that spot, what am I missing? No noticeable pink crust drops either from dried coolant, want to try and get this before it gets worse. Thanks in advance.
 
My guess is it is probably one of the small coolant hoses hidden under the throttle body (if it’s a 1FZ). If those haven’t been replaced, they need to be. If your AC cuts out that is because your engine is over heating. You are at pretty serious risk of overheating and blowing a head gasket if you don’t get the coolant leak found and fixed.
