2007 RX350 Radiator Leak

[grantwils]

Has anyone got any experience of coolant leaks on a 2007 RX350? Is it common and easy to pinpoint what the issue is?

Haven't experienced any on my own Grant but on previous Toyotas I've had plenty of coolant being splashed everywhere.

Thoughtfully the genuine coolant is a bright pink colour which leaves a visible stain on things in the engine bay so you can grab a torch and have a quick root round by yourself initially.  Start at the top of the engine and work down paying attention to the pipework and radiator area.  Hopefully it's easy spotted.

If you don't find anything obvious a workshop can perform a pressure test of the cooling system that will force any weakspots to leak.  

Hope that helps,

Perhaps the most ;likely place to have a coolant leak is from the "water pump" usually visible as a pink crusty stain below it.
