    Just checked the tank on my 16 Taco and it's about 2 inches below the fill line. Any thoughts where the leak is?? Is the dealer going to say "normal operating conditions"? Thanks

    Just drop by the quick lube bay and have them top it off, no reason to charge or use your own supply.

    It may be leaking, it may have just been missed on the PDI, who knows. I wouldn't be concerned unless I could smell it or see a leak.

    More then likely normal loss over time. Just mention it at your next regular service and make sure all the clamps are tight on the hoses...

    I would consider this normal loss also. I keep a gal jug of Toyota coolant in the garage for this exact occasion. Don't think I would trust any Jiffy Lube places adding their stuff.

    What would the dealer have to do with this.....?? If it's low ...fill it to the level and motor on my man..! If it's low again next week, then "maybe" take to dealer if you are not capable of looking for the leak..!!

    Check the lid on the reservoir to see if it is on there tight.
