My 92 3L 4Runner was on the short of anti-freeze and froze up. Usually once the engine warmed up it would open up but this time I drove a block too far and the rad busted along the bottom. Now my pocket is busted.
It's -10 outside, I don't have a garage so I got stealershiped by a Rad shop ($330) for an import rad.
Bad news is I still have a leak, don't know if it's my previous off&on coolant loss a brand new problem.
The rad shop guy said water pump was ok however coolant accumulates on a small horizontal spot below the timing belt cover. I would need to take the cover off to see where the leak was coming from, but it's still -10 & finger freezing cold.
Can this be the the water pump? Rad shop mentioned intake gasket (big money) any help? Should I look to a stop leak solution opposed to $900 for the intake gasket?
