I'd suggest trying what people are recommending then. You're asking for help, people are replying, and you're taking your own steps and leaving their suggestions untouched. That's all I meant by my comment. Nick usually has very good advice, so I'd check out what he has to say..

He probably used a 5 gas analyzer to sniff the filler neck in the radiator. I would still try the Napa Block test kit and do a cylinder leakdown test, that will verify if there is a problem. As soon as you pressurise a leaking cylinder the coolant level in the radiator will rise or bubble.
We can understand you dont know too much about cars etc but doing some of your own research can go a long way, instead of asking us "where would the hole be?". Really? Do you really think we can tell you where in your reservoir there is going to be a hole if there was one? We are not pyschics here.

Ok I think I figured out the problem. It appears that the coolant resevoir cap came off of another Toyota car like a Camry. On those cars, the overflow hose was on the right, and on my Supra the hose is on the left. So I just turned the cap around and now it doesn't leak anymore.
Could there still be bigger problems though?

You mean like how a Supra owner can screw up an engine hoist? Not that I am picking on him, but I laughed when I read that topic.
I don't know what the problem is, so how can you suggest what part he may need. I gave him the benifit of the doubt that the resevoir was leaking, because it came out at the fill line which is about half way. If he is over heating, it will just pump out of the resevoir because the resevoir is not sealed.
It is kinda hard to determine if there are any other problems with car without knowing anything other than your reservoir leaking? Does your car overheat? does it run rough? What you need to do is follow the the advice in the thread. Compression test, leakdown test, block test, coolant pressure test and so on. If all passes then you might not have bhg, but dont rule out the possibility.
