Installed new hose, have concerns
I took off the leaky upper radiator hose and discovered a white residue where it was clamped on at the motor. It was on there pretty good, I had to chisel it off. Has anyone experienced this? Is this a warning of some sort? Where did it come from? There was quite a bit there.

I discovered the same problem when I changed my timing belt & hoses on my 01 Tacoma V6. The interface for the upper hose was so corroded it would not seal. I didn't see any of the same corrosion under the timing cover or on the water pump but presumably if there is lime scale there it's everywhere. For future reference do not use a chisel or screwdriver. Instead, use emory cloth or sandpaper to clean the scale off the water neck.
