Perfect video. My 2004 Sienna (130K mi) is leaking in the exact same spot. Slowly losing about a pint a month. First, I am going to try to re-tighten the nuts. Got about a tenth of a turn on them. Cleaned up the pink salt from the area and will look for new drips. We'll see. Local mechanic wanted to replace my radiator and water pump. $2200. I said, "Nah".
I bought a roll of Felpro 3157 roll of grey gasket.I traced the plug from out side & inside and cut a perfect gasket to put with grey silicone.They don't sell a gasket for the plug so you either use ok just silicone or do what I did.

Thank you from me and my grandma we have been looking online for hours and couldn’t find out what was behind it

very interesting , there are a lot of people with coolant leaks and are told its head gasket , maybe its just this some times .
Agreed.jumping to conclusion
Appreciate the time and effort it took to make the video. How much coolant do you think you lost?
Regards.
Any idea what that actual part is ?
I was able to do this from the bottom without removing the oil filter. I still wonder about the purpose of that outlet. Thanks for the nice video!
Likely for different vehicle packages, this engine pretty universal
How much coolant came out? Your way sounds easier.
What is that peace that your taking off called ? Same failer on my car and I’m tryin to buy a new one
Great video 😊, teach ... you know how to explain.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Looks like very common in sienna. Have the same leak. Will work on mine next week.
It's an easy repair... you got this
Hey brother, Thank you for the video. How much coolant can I expect to come after resealing the cap?
Buying full strength universal coolant will fill the system just fine, add distilled water for 50/50 mix.
I did exactly what you did only my gans didnt come after the repair and van started over heating
Thank you.
I forgot to let it sit before adding coolant. Mine started leaking after a month.
Can you tell me how to asking in auto zone for this part tkan you
Ultra Grey or black RTV sealant. High torque and oil resistant
shouldn't coolant for 3MZFE pink?
Nope... Brand preference. Like dexos oil and Chevy, it's recommended but not required to function normally
Your funny as Hell haha 🤣
Wrong sealant
