2001 Toyota Tundra Radiator Leak
Heres what the leak looked like.
2001 toyota tundra radiator leak. We carefully and professionally change radiator test and make your day a lot easier. I have a 2002 tundra with the 47 V8 just recently replaced the water pump and timing belt gates kit due to my water pump leaking 195k on the truck so got it all back together it ran fine for about a week and a half then noticed it leaking fluid again couldnt tell from exactly but figured it was from the thermostat housing area because there was fluid pooling up around the. There seems to be a LOT of it.
I feel like if the reason for that is located the problem will be found but Gary said he cant hear anything leaking. You need to locate the cause of the leak and fix that but NOT WITH RADIATOR STOP LEAK. This mod is more expensive than replacing the OE radiator but it makes the pink milkshake scenario impossible.
The Radiator top tank developed a 9 long crack by the time I noticed. Bad Radiator- If the radiator has been clogged enough that coolant can no longer pass. Topped off the radiator filled the resevior and with a week the resevoir was empty and the radiator low.
Low Coolant- If your Tundra has been losing coolant its possible that youve finally leaked out enough that the cooling system can no longer do its job. I have a coolant leak. Losing coolant regularly but not leaking.
Since you recently bought this truck Id recommend you get a new radiator cap. Most radiators also have a separate cooling system built in for transmission fluid. It seems to seal the leak but suddenly it gives away.
