I've got a 2002 SR5 with 163,000 miles.
I have an issue that not sure what it could be. I'm leaking about 1/4 of a gallon of coolant a day. The radiator was replaced about 4 months ago, it cant be that. Could it be my water pump seal is cracked? I replaced one back at 80,000 and by the math, I might be up for a new one. Is there something I can do to reduce the leaking?
Another question, I plan on having this car for only another 6 months. does it make sense for me to replace the timing belt if the water pump needs replacement?
Any other expensive items I need to be aware of soon?
