Hachiroku there are several of those small coolant hoses on your Supra. One
of them that you should keep an eye on is just a pipe end cap. It should be on
the exhaust side of the engine near the firewall.

When I had the top off the engine, I checked out all the hoses and tubes,
esp after the PCV and oil breather tubes broke trying to remove them.

Everything looked OK <Crosses Fingers!>
