Do not mix antifreeze, if you have dexcool/HOAT stick with it. Only switch to green after a complete system flush. The two outer bolts on the drivers side of the water pump. Then one on the passenger side they’ll be along the outside edge vs top/bottom.

The top 3 "red arrows" mount the water pump through the front cover, to the block.

I personally think your color looks more red like Toyota coolant, G40(the pink stuff) does not usually look that dark when it leaks and leaves deposits. But photos are deceiving.

Odds are yes, that is the right stuff. Most euro shops will be using that for almost everything besides BMW and some Mercedes vehicles

Is there any harm in topping off with this stuff, even if it ends up that I had the Toytota red stuff in it? I plan to change it probably in the next month anyway.

Was just looking at your first post again and in this picture it appears to be leaking from the water pump gasket.



And yes, in the other picters you took, if it was leaking out of the weep hole...you'd have seen stains. I'd just order a new water pump and gasket and take care of it before it becomes a bigger issue.

No, that's the wrong coolant. You need Dexcool for GM vehicles.

I wouldnt waste money adding any when you're going to wind up swapping coolant.

drain that trash out, flush it, and add green at your earliest convienence.
