    I have a 2000 Tacoma 2.7L 4x4 with 198k on it. I opened up the hood yesterday to give someone a jump and I noticed that on each side of my radiator there was liquid that dried milky white which was not there when I check everything the previous week. I looks like it came out the top of my radiator and I was pretty much out of coolant in my reservoir. I filled it up with some peak coolant yesterday and it took about half already.

    I attached a couple pictures and would love your guys input. If it is blown it seems very easy to install myself but if you have any tips on which radiator to buy or anything please let me know.

    Bilstein 5100's on all four corners. Front set @ 0 with OME 883x coils. Alcon leaf springs. Viper Alarm. Wet Okole seat covers. WeatherTech Floor liners front and back. Oem Toyota chrome exhaust tip. ARE Shell. America Outlaw Wheels.
    Looks like your tank separated from your cores . As for a replacement. I would go oem . From past experience, Toyotas do better with OEM parts . Just my 2 cents.
