Tacoma v6 Fluid leaking need help please

I suppose that's a possibility... I'd think some misfire codes would be more likely in the event of a bad enough head gasket leak. But overflowing coolant itself is not gonna throw any codes

 

Yes it says it covers all internal engine seals

 

If it's not under warranty before you take it to a shop you could do a UV dye test on it... that way they don't try to rip you off. The kit can cost around 50 bucks though

 

Could there be any other reason for the leak?

 

Its under warranty thank goodness

 

Since the leaking just started I am thinking it could be a small head gasket leak,I dont want it too become a big leak and ruin the entire engine.

 

Something that would alert me that I am losing compression where the seal is bad.

 

Yeah take it in asap. I wish you luck brother

 

Some people do get a misfire code due to coolant getting into a cylinder, and I think sometimes a stutter during cold start. I guess it just depends where the gasket is breached.

 

Double check the hoses it doesn't take a big hole to make a big leak...either way at least you have a warranty

 

A sensor for that doesn't exist.

Besides, HG failures aren't common and there could be different reasons for low compression.

 

So get it fixed. A head gasket on that engine is over 20 hours shop labor plus other costs. Your warranty saves you over $2000.

 

Thanks Ryan

 

Thank you all for helping out.I just hope the dealer doesnt give me a damn runaround about fixing it.

 

Let us know how everything goes

 

Well, it probably won't be the dealer, but rather the third party warranty company... they are the ones that have to approve the repair before the dealer can do anything.

 

Correct the dealer calls them too get the repair okayed,but since this dealer sold me the warranty when I bought the truck,there should be no problems.I called them and made an appointment,so I will update when I find out what the problem is.

 

When's your appointment?
