    I don’t unfortunately. I’ll poke around, but like I asked above. 60k warranty should cover this free of charge right? I know they’ve had issues with coolant in the 2017’s... just my luck.

    I have no idea...I have owned my Tacoma all of 2 weeks...so Im the last guy to ask.
    I did most of my own work on my jeeps, and I have had a high/ low pressure leak from a hairline crack in a radiator.
    Which sucks, but thats a lot less painful than a bad head gasket and all the loose ends associated with it.

    Lol, wife would probably appreciate the extra room in they apparently have. I shall not submit my man card for that minivan with a bed.
    Yes, I wonder if it’s back there... disappointing, i wish I could see something to give me a sign. Is that covered under the 60k warrantizzle?

    I have 17 and have the same issue, which very well could be a non-issue.
    I posted here, ppl chalked it up as normal evap.
    I’ve done a diligent check for leaks and there isn’t any. Checked the crossover tube, no leaks. Nothing in the oil.
    I bought some Toyota coolant and have added to few oz to reservoir.
    If I feel like there is an issue I’ll do a pressure test to stress the system and reveal any possible leaks.
    Keep this thread updated please

    p.s the only traces of dried coolant(and minor at that) I’ve found were between coolant overflow tank nipple and the small rubber overflow hose..

    On my GF Accord, the rad will look full, but it's an internal piece that's wet

    Thank you, just the answer I’ve been looking for.
    If I don’t feel it, see it... I’m not going to search for hours if it’s covered. Thanks bud!

    Take your truck to the dealer,that's why you have a warranty.

    So to me it looked like a “step” and far to the right was full and once the engine stayed on for a bit it pooled onto the step on the left.

    But who knows, these trucks are weird.
