So I looked down in the driveway to see an antifreeze puddle. I took the skid plate off and looked for the cause. I just replaced the water pump , thromstat and seal, so It is right above that, WTF do I do? and is there a simple fix.

one thing you need to check before condemning your H/G. The upper tbelt idler has a coolant passage that runs through it. You can look down at it just behind the timing cover from the top and see if its leaking around the seal. Ive seen alot of those leak and run down the side making it look like a H/G leak

Has your head gasket ever been replaced? Is it showing any of the other symptoms? White smoke etc... check what toytech said first, h/g replacement is a lot of work to do on an assumption

Mines doing the same thing after timing chain. I took my water pump off too. The coolant seems to be leaking from the water pump and down the block. Im going to get in there and torq everything down again this weekend. I have a 22 re tho.

I hate to say it guys , but I got lazy and dont have any money to fix it right now, so i dumped a bottle of fix a leak into it, until i can fix it.

Thats terrible!!!!!!!!!! That crap wont do anything but cause you problems. If its that idler leaking, you dont need to replace it unless its noisy. You can pull it off and reseal it with toyota FIPG. Dont let your motor overheat
