Leaking coolant - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I have a 96 Camry v6 LE.

I cant figure out where coolant is leaking from. I know it isnt any of the visible hoses on the top and it appears to be near the belts. I know the trail of drippy coolant travels from that area to the oil pan where it drips to the floor.

Any ideas?

Well if its near the belts, the water pump could be leaking.

Rent a cooling system pressure tester from a autoparts store.

This will allow you to pressurize the system and see where the leak is coming from.

^Agreed^
Waterpump are little tough to replace, make sure you change your timing belt when you get it done. Hell, do all your belts.
Nothing like fresh rubberbands for that edge in self security.
