    Just bought a used Tundra with about 120,000 miles.

    Noticed I was losing some coolant after long trips.

    Got underneath and saw the pink buildup. (Pic below)

    What am I looking at here? This is directly under the engine. I’ve had the truck for about a week and still finding my way around.

    Welcome to the forum. Someone recently posted about some cooling system connections on top of the motor that can leak and drain towards the back of the engine. Not the heater core hoses.
