    Nice! I knew it couldn't have been that bad.

    Now don't be a stranger!

    Sounds like it to me. Hopefully it wasn't long enough to do any damage. :fingerscrossed:

    So did the shop determine where the fluid pissed from and why? Seems to me, a bad seal won't fix itself.

    Agreed, it sounded that way. Just want to confirm.

    I'm late to the game but I've read all the posts here, and was very happy to see that your classic Tundra is just fine!

    @Moloa
    Following up on this question because if the answer is yes, I believe this is like the 5th pink milkshake in the 1st Gen community in the last 6 or so months. Prior to that, I was not aware of a single one.
    Just trying to add some data to a conversation that comes up pretty regularly.

    This thread makes me feel better about proactively replacing the radiator on my 2000 4.7 at a quarter million miles.
