Mysterious Leak

Recently I was driving and started smelling gas from the cabin. By the time I reached my destination, the car fully shut off and all the warning lights came on. I restarted it and the lights went away, and I made it the rest of the way. When I parked, I noticed liquid oozing out from underneath the driver’s side (see video). I felt the liquid — it had a gas smell to it. I sent a video to a couple mechanics and they said it’s either an A/C line or a gas line leak.

Also, when I had the A/C on, I noticed a rough idle that felt off. I drove the last 25-30km home with the AC off, staying under 100km/h. Curious what this community thinks it could be.

Moved from a ’98 1st gen RAV4 to a ’99 3rd gen 4Runner — how do I get the rear seats to fold flat like the RAV4 did?

Hey guys. I recently went from a first gen RAV4, 1998, to a 1999 3rd gen 4Runner. I’ve tried sleeping in the back of the 4Runner and it’s pretty uncomfortable — I’m 6 foot 4, and honestly I was more comfortable stretched out in the little RAV4.

The problem is the way the 4Runner seats fold: the backs sit proud of the cargo floor instead of dropping flush, so you’re never on one flat plane. In the RAV4 the rear seats folded down basically level and I had a real flat bed.

I’m looking for ways to replicate that flat-bed setup using the seats themselves. Is there a way to modify the rear seats so they fold down flush like a RAV4? I don’t mind re-engineering or fabricating something new to make it happen — I just don’t want to sleep on an uneven floor. The one catch: I’d want it to stay a quick change so I can still daily drive it.

Has anyone done a seat mod, re-hinge, custom setup like this? Would love photos or details.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Am I screwed

I recently got 4runner not too long ago. I got it on a lift for the first time today to look at it myself. Additionally,recently I got a car wash which took a little bit of Rust proofing off the frame. I have attached some of the pics that I took. Do you think that I’m in a bad position or I’ll be all all right and it’s just a bunch of surface rust.

Also, I would appreciate any suggestions a on how you guys would clean that little hole that is showing up in the rear wheel wells. I hope it’s not rotting from inside out.
