Hello,

there is a strong possibility that you may have a head gasket problem so take it to your nearest Toyota dealers ASAP, you should be covered by their extended warranty, the details and conditions of that warranty will be explained to you by them but tell them you have been told that one exists.

Regards Pete.

in fact the water is losing by the pipe which is found near the cap where excess water goes....

Sound like the head gasket, the pressure normally created inside the engine is leaking into the cooling system and forcing the water out through the pressure cap on the reservoir and out of the tube you mention, you may find pinky colour spots on top of the engine cover, that will be the antifreeze/water mix if there is any left in the system, just depends how many times and for how ling you have been topping it up.

my opinion--either head gasket or cooling fan/temp sensor or air suction into an expansion plastic tank due to poor gasket. the less pressure inside the cooling system the fast boiling + leak thru over flow tube. cheers/Igor
