Hi all,

First post here, so sorry if I missed where someone else had asked this ( I can't find anything about this, anywhere.
Just got a 94 runner 3.0 4x4 and I am replacing the radiator and hoses, which had been neglected and cracked. I have a very small leak coming out of the "Water Outlet?" (Pics below). I cannot seem to find the gasket that fits this. It seems other 3.0's of my generation had a different looking outlet (a T instead of a 1 way). All the gaskets I can find are O's and this obviously isn't. Can anyone help? Thanks!

 

After much research it seems there is no gasket and everyone just uses an rtv sealant.

 

I see on the cooling diagrams for the 22re there are gaskets with part #'s however I can't find any for the 3.0.. rtv would work fine i'm sure.

I went through and replaced all my cooling system hoses last week on the 95 3.0 4wd I purchased and afterwards I guess the next weakest link was the freeze plug in the back of the engine.. Watch out for leaks in new places when u replace all that stuff.. Pressure takes the path of least resistance LOL..

Welcome and congrats on your new runner..

 

Did you locate the gasket? Use RTV?

 

rworegon, I just used rtv, it worked like a charm. I'm just a bit OCD about this stuff and if there is a gasket I wanna use it. But rtv worked great.

Thanks Voiddweller, I will keep an eye on that, and also I'm psyched about my first runner!

 

Your correct no gasket goes there just sealant
