Help?! My truck has demons!
It all started a week or so ago with the smell of gas coming from the right side of my engine bay. I am assuming this is either from the fuel pulsation dampener or from a leaky o-ring on one of my fuel injectors. I am still working on trying to figure that part out.
Now here is where it gets interesting...
About 20 minutes ago I went outside to smoke and was standing about 10 feet from the front of my truck when all of a sudden it started leaking antifreeze. The truck hasn't been started in two days! I crawled under her to see where it was coming from but all I can see is it is dripping from the bottom of my transmission. Right around the bottom of the bell housing.
Any ideas? (other than time for a swap to the 3.4)

what motor???? the 22re has a water bypass on the back of the head that will leak. the 3.0 has a Distribution block on the intake, it to can leak. as for the fuel smell there could be some things causing that. with the hot days fuel will vaporize causing the oder, on the right side of the engine bay is the charcoal canister. if the filter is bad or a line broke you will also get a smell....

I had that two years ago and it was actually leaking from the top of the fuel tank. The fuel pump bracket had failed where it was sealed to the top of the tank. Had to get a new bracket from Toyota. price was about $200cdn. installed. also got my fuel sys. modified to use a more easily replaceable GM fuel filter. [my oe filter was worn out and to big and expensive a PITA to replace with stock].
