Radiator fluid

[chompster4runner]

Something I've notice with my 4Runner, in law Corolla and Tacoma. We got crusty pink radiator fluid around the neck of the reservoir tank. Sometimes I add a bit in mine after ever other oil change. Something I/we should be really concern about?

it might be an indicator or it running hot and overflowing the reservoir or just spillage from refilling it.

if the coolant level in radiator isn't low and the reservoir level stays good, don't worry about it.

sometimes the radiator cap seals dry up and you need to replace the cap but its not that common

Yea I did recently replace the rad cap but still getting spillage from the reservoir tank cap and fluid a bit low. Then there are times its normal...no cold shaky start like everyone is talking about blown headgasket. Thanks for the suggestion.
