Hi got a 3litre hilux just discovered that I have coolant leaking from under the dash on the passenger side.
No obvious hose issues under the bonnet so I can only assume that its under the dash. Can anyone shed some possibble light on what I should be looking for?
cheers

Heater core is leaking or the pipes that run to it thru the fire wall....

Yes done some more reserch since posting and I came to same conclusion.
looks like a pain in the arse to get it out. Am selling the car so its a bastard of a time for it to happen.

Had a go at pulling the heater core out got dash off but what a pain....decided to bypass it asI am in a warm climate and heaters are not used that much.
Just wondering whether running some of the copper particle based radiator repair fluid through it may be an option.....I have had it work on a holed rad ??
any opinions?//
