2024 Tacoma TRD Off-road Leak

Pretty sure it was just water, or it's more to the story.... or he's a troll lol

 

You don’t think the water would evaporate each day?
Looks like oil to me and judging by how it seems to be on the tire it’s leaking onto the skid plate and spraying all over the place while driving. Probably something stupid like an oil filter or drain plug that wasn’t tightened properly.

 

Maybe the shock sprung a leak …

 

hard to say if what’s coming out is not water or the ground is already dirty then contaminating what’s falling in the pics, water mixing with whatever is there could still stain the pavement I think..

I see what you are saying about the tire , to me a bit inconclusive based on info as there’s lots of things they could have driven through.. but I’m not saying I’m right or wrong just throwing things out there

 

That's a good idea based on the location.

My issue here is that with that amount of fluid on the ground, it should be very easy to look up and see which part of the truck is also covered in fluid. Which it seems like OP hasn't done, or simply hasn't updated us on.

Or, he's already ditched it, because a truck with that kind of failure at 100 miles is basically totaled, end of life, game over.

 

My money's on condensate. OP?

 

I agree, on my shitty computer screen the fluid looks reddish/pinkish, too.....maybe coolant?? Or engine oil?

Seems like it would take 2 seconds to verify..if the OP is even reading this thread anymore

 

Did OP go for a car wash and it was just water?

 

.

 

I’m going off the assumption that the OP knows the difference between water and other fluids.

 

It’s totaled.

 

It looks like it’s on the suspension and might even be flinging onto the wheel.

 

4Gs tacos are falling apart. Just like predicted.

 

I'm worried for the OP, I think Toyota may have kidnapped him. Can't have any more bad press. Even if they say it's water I'm not believing it now.

 

He’s probably working on his video series…

 

lol. It's 100% not water. But yeah, we'll go with AC condensate and the stuff on the tire is just something he drove through.

 

Perfect Thread for a Friday.
