    Toyota Super Long Life, same as the Engine coolant - available at any Toyota dealer.

    guess I better check both systems. Getting a few drops on the garage floor. It looks like it is extremely clean . Is that a clue or is either system still suspect ? Thanks , GG

    Both water pumps have been known to fail. The electric water pump for the inverter has been the subject of a recall (check at the dealer to see if it was done on your Prius) and the mechanical pump for the engine coolant is subject to leaks (check for telltale red drips near the pump shaft).
