Leaking Liquid??

Hey Guys

I have a 2017 TRD Sport DCLB

I came home today from work, turned my truck off and started walking inside, when I noticed my truck was making "popping" noises.

Then I noticed it was leaking alot of liquid, which looks like water onto the ground. It is coming from the passenger side, near the wheel well.

I was not using the A/C and the Temp outsidewas about 21C / 70F outside.

I just had my 8000km check up and the dealership said everything was ok.

Please excuse the smoke, I was having a cigarette.

What do you guys think it is??

 

I think something's wrong with the video you posted..... I can't see it. May be due to me being on my phone. Did you crawl under the truck and take a look? I'd check your coolant level when the engine cools down. Good luck....

 

You say no AC, defrost or run through a puddle and did not notice? If looks and smells like plain water it is coming from other than your truck.

 

truck looks like its about to start fire... just sayin... lots of smoke...

 

I'm always surprised at the amount of water that flows off of my wife's Sienna. These days, AC is on pretty much constantly in vehicles. Some of them don't even light up the AC switch/control but if you're in defrost mode, it'll be on, causing condensation. And on our Sienna, there's a LOT of it that flows off. My garage floor almost always has a wet spot.

Stick something under there and check the color and smell. Rub it between your fingers -- is there any viscosity?

Those 3 attributes will help you determine what kind of liquid it is.

 

Based on the picture and lighting the liquid look a bit pink to me. If that’s the case could be coolant, engine coolant or possibly power steering fluid. Watching the video it seems thin so I’d say condensation or coolant leak. Either way I’d check it out further. They may have messed something up.

 

Did you recently use your windshield washer sprayer things? I've done that and then been momentarily horrified by the trail of liquid leading to my parking spot only to smack myself on the head when I remember. That does sort of look like the area where the windshield drains to. Perhaps water had been built up in the drain and it was slightly clogged, having unclogged itself when you parked?

Anyway, if it's just plain water it's nothing to worry about. Check for color/smell to see if it's something else.

 

first and foremost... take your finger and do the old classic dip and sniff test...

 

give it a little taste

 

Winston?...Marlboro?

The water sure looks like A/C condensation.

 

Is that a Portlandia gif? Is that Carrie?
