    Hello, I have a 2008 Tacoma that is going through coolant pretty fast. I had the radiator replaced about a year ago so I'd be a little surprised if that was the issue although its possible. Looking at the pattern of coolant on the radiator, it makes me think it was thrown on there by the fan. Based on the picture, where could a possible leak be? Thanks!

    Bottom rad hose? Might be seeping.

    Water pump, upper rad hose, radiator itself. Lower hose. Throttle body coolant bypass hose. Just look for pink crusty stuff

    Thanks for all the welcomes and replies! I don't have really any automotive knowledge I can't find a leak on any hoses. checked all the ones u guys listed. I'm also guessing it could be water pump since I'm at 78k miles but really just a guess. Think I'll have to get a pressure test done. :/
    Anything else I should do while doing the water pump? Also, it's supercharged so not sure if that adds anything maintenance wise that I should do at the same time

    If your going to change the water pump. If it is bad. Also change the thermostat and fan clutch. Might as well drain the block as well. And replace the coolant with Toyota long life concentrate. Add a 50/50 mix with distilled water
