Coolant leak 1992 toyota pickup

I have a 1992 toyota dually pickup with a 3.0 v6 engine , i just recently had the head gaskets replaced at a toyota dealership,after driving 400 miles a coolant leak started at the rear of the engine. i took the truck back to the dealership and they replaced the headgasket and bolts on the passenger side.i drove the truck home and after about 36 hours another leak appeared at the rear of the engine ,the leak only appears when the truck has been parked for 24 hours or more.i also noticed that it happens when the temperture gets colder. they have checked all the hoses and freeze plugs and the pipe that goes under the intake.

Do you know if they replaced the O ring rubber that connects the pipe under the intake Mark?
One of its trademarks is it only leaks after the vehicle sets overnight.

1992 toyota camry v6 backfires and has white smoke

It seems you may have a head gasket leak from the coolant jacket to one cylinder or more.
To confirm this you should get a radiator leak-down test, to see if the coolant jacket does have a leak, and a compression test to see if one or more cylinders have a leak.
The white smoke is coolant vapour, and the backfiring, fuel igniting only once it gets to the hot exhaust from other cylinders.

1991 toyota pickup, overheating problem, there is water that I know getting into the oil. I just bought a new head and gasket plus the timing cover gasket as well. ran it today and still blowing water in...

Coolant or water in the oil can be from a head gasket leak, but it can also be an intake manifold gasket or a crack in the block or head etc. I would begin by removing the spark-plugs and then pressurizing the cooling system and checking each cylinder for signs of coolant entering them. If the cylinders stay dry and coolant goes into the oil during the test you most likely have an intake gasket that's leaking. Don't run thee engine with coolant in the oil or you'll have catastrophic damage!

1996 toyota corolla--had to check the raditor fluid daily but had no trouble running hot unless the fluid was low: replaced the radiator and now the car runs hot with coolant in the radiator. The car seems...

did you replace the thermostat when you put the radiator in,you could still have an air pocket in the system,recheck your coolant in the radiator when it is cold.
the next thing is to verify the cooling fans are working,when you see it hot check to see if it really is hot or gauge is lying,if it is hot see if the fans are running to maintain cooling temp,if they are not check coolant fan fuse and relay and last fan motors

I have a 93 Toyota Camry XLE 3.0 L V6 with 131k miles that has a blown head gasket which has caused coolant to leak into the cylinders and overheats the car. If I want to keep the car, is it better to...

if no other damage is done it is fine to have the head and gasket fixed, but with that many miles on it you might consider a rebuilt engine.

92 Toyota Camry, antifreeze leaking no leak found

have you had the undercarriage inspected for white stains from coolant, rust stains if your system is corroded? How many miles? has the water pump ever been replaced, that would be my guess, water pumps leak while the eng is running and the hot engine evaporates the coolant, so in many cases none on the ground. Also have the system pressure tested by a shop and put on a rack to check for signs of leaking under the car.

White coloured engine oil, overheating

White oil means water or coolant is leaking in via Head Gasket Failure or a crack in the head. Along with repair - be sure to have each cylinder compression tested to see if there is a crack that has developed. Thanks for using FixYa - a FixYa rating is appreciated for answering your FREE question.
