HI: Newbe-- I have a serious water leak in a metal tube which appears to come from the bottom rear of the 2VZ FE engine and connects to a hose going to the heater core. I can't get to it to patch. How can I find a part number for replacement? Looks like major dissassembly! Where can I find a IPB ? Thanks

THANKS DRUGAL: Using your suggestion I located the part number needed. Now the problem is that TOYOTA dose not carry the part anymore! it's called a Pipe, Water Bypass #1 16268-62010. Where do I find one.

That part was superceded by 16268-62011. Have you checked both?

daviddebby you may be able to gain more access if you support the oil pan with a hydraulic jack (place piece of wood between pan and jack), loosen/remove the engine and transmission mounts, and raise the engine just a few inches? In my shop we had to do that on another car just to change a spark plug - but a couple inches may be all you need? (Obviously you do not want to jack up high enough to break something-)
