Is the car still on its original Radiator?. If so, carefully check the bottom corners for weeping coolant onto the under engine plastics.

Replacements Rads are very cheap on eBay, but do use genuine Toyota Red or Pink LongLife coolant, and be prepared to spend some time burping the system of air.

HTH, and keep us informed

Welcome to the club Leon.

It would help a lot if you would add a little more info about your motor in your profile as there may be members who could help with any problems you have but are not familiar with your model type but may have experienced the same as you in theirs. For instance the fuel it uses but of course a rad is  a rad

Did you "back flush" the radiator as this can sometimes dislodge obstructions that pushing the water the same way as the water pump would allow a small amount  to go past it in some of the rad tubes.
