I've finally located the slow coolant leak on my 2004 GX (144K). The leak is at both gaskets on the "water by-pass joint." See attached picture from the FSM.
The FSM doesn't specifically mention replacing the Water by-pass joint (at least what I've found so far), it only mentions replacing the water pump. My question to anyone who knows...do I need to remove the timing belt to get to water by-pass joint? Has anyone had a similar issue?
The water pump and TB were done at 90k...I can only assume the gaskets on the Water by-pass joint weren't changed.
