    2004 Toyota Tacoma Leaking coolant fast now just after engine is turned off. Started as a slower drip. I can see where it’s coming out but I don’t know what part of the car this is. It’s bottom left if facing the car. Almost looks like coolant coming from a large black colored square box between the seam where a lid would sit on a box. It’s not the radiator, or hoses, and doesn’t appear to be water pump. Car hadn’t overheated yet, I have a short video too. Thanks for any info. I’m going to get this to a shop but wondered if anyone had an idea. I’m not seeing white tailpipe smoke and the oil and coolant look like they should.

    Thanks for taking the time to reply. It’s definitely coolant. The reservoir looses coolant and now the radiator loses coolant, but it’s not coming from the radiator. Not coming out near the water pump either. Coolant comes out just beneath the hex nut in the photo. If I pour coolant into the radiator it leaks out this spot. Used to be a slow drip, but now it drips out real fast. Won’t hold coolant for more than a few miles and may overheat.
