    It's my first truck/ Toyota. I have a 1998 prerunner project drift truck. It's leaking from somewhere I can't see . I'm thinking water pump. I used like 6 bottles of sealer. An it holds for almost half a day. Any ideas how to fix till I can get a new one.

    Quit driving it or you will smoke a head gasket.

    Quit putting 'sealer' in it. Obviously it doesnt work. And it will give you problems later.

    Borrow a pressure tester from a parts house, find the leak and fix it right.

    I second pressure testing your block since the sealer doesnt work. Easy to do and you can rent them or buy one from Harbor Freight for super cheap. Hope it works out!

    I just needed to get home that's why I put so much. I'm going to change the water pump today. I bought the truck with 60 k miles for 800 bucks. It runs amazing . This is the only problem it has had so far. Thanks everyone for the help. I have a pressure tester . I'll do that first.
