is there anyway the ct26 could leak coolant in the exhaust. i thought my cylidner head was cracked or leaking, but nothing was found. no steam clean, zero signs of a coolant leak. i have mhg and arps as well, and it was machined, it ran very smooth.

actually im wondering, if this has happened to anyone before.

Im in a similar situation right now, ill loose a little bit of coolant after i go for about a 2 hr drive up to the mountains, yet theres never a puddle of coolant under my car. I have less than 30k on the engine + MHG & ARP studs and good compression. A friend at the local toyota dealership said that the coolant could be vapor when its leaking out, possibly the lines to the throttle body or on the right side of engine. the only way to be sure is to pressure test id really like to know whats up with it

I had the same problem, engine ran fine after rebuilding it but I had a lot of whit smoke out of the exhaust, so I had the head machined and pressure tested (again) and a MHG installed with arp's (again) the block checked for flatness...(again) after doing everything by the book twice!!! I still have coolant in the exhaust!!!! DAMN these 7m's!! I read the toyota repair manual and it said if you have coolant in the exhaust, and the engine is running fine with no issues and compression is okay its the turbo. I am beginning to think my problem is the turbo too, even though its newly rebuilt. I bought another turbo so I will find out this week, so I guess its very possible
