    Howdy, I have a 2000 tundra with 228000 miles. Was driving home today noticed smoke billowing from the back of my truck. Pulled over to find atf all over the engine bay, mostly on the drivers side. I let everything cool down a bit, Ana started the engine again only to see fluid spraying in a pretty fine mist from somewhere on the drivers side of the engine. Any ideas on the likely cause?

    Lines that go into the radiator. Follow them down, you will find the leak.

    Yep...I think this is a common issue after time. I'm fairly certain I've seen this same problem here on the forum from other 1st gen owners.
