    Hey guys, I walked out to my truck yesterday and noticed a wet spot under my car. After some looking I realized that it was coolant. I noticed some dried coolant all along the oil pan and skid plate. it seems to be coming from just above the oil pan. I was thinking it might be from the lower coolant hose? I am aftraid it could be the water pump as I just bought my taco in february and was unable to get maintenance records for it. My taco has 162k miles on it and I plan on doing the timing belt, water pump etc when I can get the money together for parts. Any imput? Im going to try and upload some pictures soon. Thanks guys!

    I forgot to update this thread! it turned out to be that my water pump had failed. It was coming out the front of my water pump. I ended up changing the water pump, tensioners, and timing belt.
