Coolant loss is either through the engine "using it" or the cooling system "losing it" through a leak. If it's losing it from the drivers side of the motor you will have to be more specific about where it's leaking. If you can't describe it post a picture..

Need to know what hilux and what engine you have in it. Also if it's from a coolant hose or from a welsh plug or leaking out between the head and the block or wherever. A picture would tell a thousand words.

No problem but I didn't help much the only way to get clear help on the internerds is to give as much information as possible.
Anyway good luck.
