Yep. A mechanic could pressurize the cooling system for you to verify where the water is leaking from, tell whether it's just the gasket or the pump itself (the shaft seals aren't replaceable that I...

Seriously, it's behind the radiator fan. The fan clutch mounts to a pulley which mounts on the WP shaft, just follow that back and you'll see the WP itself. If there's no sign of water running out...

Can happen. Shaft seals could have gone out, or the gasket where it mounts to the block could be bad.

I think they've got some kind of mod or aftermarket setup that I'm not familiar with. In a stock setup, you won't see boost by reving it up in neutral.

Why would you want to?

In any case, the engine will need to be under load to boost. Putting it in Drive and holding the brakes while giving it gas will work. Don't recommend it, but it does...

It's probably repairable, as Toyota sells the individual components (antenna shaft, motor, lanyard, etc), but you're probably better off just getting an aftermarket unit and installing it. Not real...

There's a lower radiator hose and probably a drain valve on the bottom of the radiator itself. If the hose is loose or split it could leak, or the drain valve might not be closed completely and...

If he's the legit owner he can claim a lost title and apply for a replacement from the state RMV. Cost $25.

At idle the oil pressure should be somewhere around 5 psi. Above idle the pressure will generally increase about 10 psi per 1k of rpm. So say at 3000 rpm you'll probably see something around 30...

The missing hose/fitting is probably nothing more than a sign of shoddy or careless maintenance at some point in the car's past. Trust me, more than a few Supra's out there are the victims of all...

The overflow sits just in front of the radiator support frame and over by the radiator cap area. Should be some bolt locations over there iirc.

Did the oil look good? No sign of milkiness or...

Yep. What you're describing with the coolant and overflow tank is an archtypical sign of a blown head gasket. Get a block test and run it, or a compression test if you prefer.
