Hi Rick Did you replace the plastic coolant bypass tube coming from the thermostat? That was the first thing I did when I got my truck. That plastic tube/pipe will brake without warning. Toyota has a metal replacement for it. Toyota knew about this problem but didn't replace it under warranty. I noticed some pink (coolant color) on my serpentine belt when doing a routine inspection on my truck. I think I have a water pump starting to go out. Great video 😊😊😊
Thank you. I have 2006 Tacoma with disappearing coolant, dealership can't find leak. Will give it a try myself, praying nothing serious.
Just let it cool off first. Never open it hot.

Yes sir I sure did. Thanks for the comment and compliment.
Thanks, mine is leaking in the same spot..., did you do a vid on replacement or do u know of a good one??
Since it's such a tough spot to reach, I had the Toyota dealership do it. I was super busy and simply didn't have the time.
Thanks for share,what is the name of that tool?
Héctor, it is a Coolant Pressure Tester Kit.
