    I have a 09 Tacoma. It seems I have a leak in the cooling system. I have checked the hoses and it doesn't seem to be them. It seems to be coming from the drivers side at the bottom of the radiator. Has anyone had a problem with their radiator leaking. It leakes even if it hasn't been driven. The truck only has 50,000 miles on it.:confused:

    Check the drain valve and hose connection on the drivers side.

    You may also have a pinhole punture in the radiator. Check all the connections first. If not, get it fixed correctly, don't put the radiator stop leak in it. Gets into the coolant passages in the engine.
