    I have a 2002 Toyota Tundra 2x4 4.7 v8 this problem just started which makes me think it’s a head gasket leak but I’ve never seen a coolant leak like this …… it’s leaking on passenger side kinda where the motor an transmission bell housing is here’s a video of where it’s seeping out like I’ve said I’ve never seen anything like it it seeps down an runs off the front bottom of the bell housing it’s a slow drip kinda like a leaky fosset just drip …drip ….drip and it’s more of a foam seeping out I’ve checked all fluids and there clean no water traces anywhere I’m lost on this please some help is greatly appreciated


    It’s like a small weep hole on the side of the engine block on passenger side I don’t understand what it is

    I don't hink it's a head gasket. A few people have reported a leak from that area. Our local first gen encyclopedia of problems may know more. @Professional Hand Model

    Yeah. I saw this earlier and think it could be the O-Ring up in front of the engine near the Thermostat. Another few members have suffered this is the only reason I know. There is a Thread somewhere about it.

    The leak starts upfront and drains along the Top Valley of the Engine and drains down a rear weep hole under the Starter. Ends up at the Bell Housing underneath truck. Hope this helps.

    Report back!
