    This looks like an easy fix but I don't know what part it is. Anybody know? Not a serious problem though right? IMG_2122.jpg IMG_2124 2.jpg IMG_2123.jpg

    Thermostat oring has failed. Looks like the coolant is corrosive, consider replacing/flushing it entirely.

    Probably a good idea to get under and see if anything else is leaking. Usually see the water pump leaking long before that oring on the thermostat leaks.

    ^ Second that. May be a good idea to replace hoses too while you're at it. Preventative Maintenance.

    Toyota coolant does that. Good indication of a leak that’s been there a while.
