Coolant Leaking

Hi everyone,

I recently noticed that 2006 2.7L 4cyl Tacoma is leaking coolant. I took a few pictures of where it is coming from. Any ideas or pointers on where I need to look or how I can go about trouble shooting or repairing this? The truck only has 88k on it so I'm really hoping this isn't a headgasket issue. Any advice?

Thanks in advance! It has been one of those days.

 

Seeing how your truck is an earlier model.
My first guess would be the coolant bypass pipe.

I’ll see if I can find the post of where to look and part #.

 

This one? https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/leaky-gasket-on-coolant-bypass-housing.417873/

 

That would be the one

Thanks

 

Looks exactly like the leak that’s showed up on mine in the last week. Best I can tell it’s the bypass pipe, plan to upgrade to the metal pipe when I can get into the shop in a few weeks. Mines a 2006 with 220K so I’ve been lucky on the original plastic pipe.

 

Thanks so much for this information! I will see if I can find the bypass pipe and look into it this weekend. I'll keep everyone posted.
