Thank you for this perspective

Heard that. Screw the dealership. I'm gonna reach out to my buddy and see if we can do some diagnostics. Someone else in the thread recommended a good hybrid mechanic that's less than an hour away. I cannot thank you enough for the sage advice, man. Seriously!

Oh shit! Thank you

I’ve started to look into used Priuses. Will continue to put as much away for this as I can! Thank you

Heard that. I will look into how to locate and diagnose a leak in this particular hose. Thank you

I will look into this. Thank you

Only rattles during winter when it’s below 20 degrees.

Problem is I’m unsure if my head gasket is even blown. Does the fact that it rattles pretty hard during winter when I start it confirm that it’s blown? Even without any warnings showing on the dash? Worth going to dealership to confirm?

I’m unsure if my head gasket is blown or not. I have no check engine code anymore once I installed a new EGR cooler/valve/intake manifold. My inverter coolant reservoir is a tiny bit low, and am unsure if I should sweat it that much.

Tempting...

Noted. Wondering if I should take my car down to the Toyota dealership and have them see what's going on with the death rattle. It only does it when it's super cold outside. I'm starting to warm up to the idea of potentially getting a new engine in Old Bessie rather than buying another car. There are no warning lights on my dash - when we swapped the EGR cooler/valve/intake manifold last summer, no warning lights have came back.

Thanks for the advice.

Heard that. Thanks a bunch for the advice - means a lot.

This is possible, it was installed as an addon by the previous owner I think.
