Weird Looking Vent

kaseysmom · 02-21-2010, 05:08 PM

Got the same exact thing going on in my Supra. Same place - same color interior. Oh well - I need to pull the dash out too! Could a small leak cause me to continually get air trapped in the coolant system? Every time I think I get rid of that waterfall sound it re-appears again?

Yes, the waterfall sound is due to air in the cooling system; You're losing coolant somewhere. When you turn the heat on on a relatively warm day, do the windows promptly fog up? Check the carpet where it sits up against the firewall for moisture in both the passenger and driver's foot wells.

I'd still like a picture of what you folks are seeing... I didn't have anything like that when my heater core went, but perhaps I just replaced it too quickly. Is the green stuff damp or sludgey?

dont go touching it. Toyota already has enought trobles with the gas and brake pedals, they don't need another problem for causing a new virus or disease of some sort, haha. t
