Leak in the hybrid cooling - Check Hybrid System message
I was driving today and my Check Hybrid System message came on. It then briefly flashed coolant hot message. I pulled over and saw that the Hybrid coolant tank was empty. I added some water and drove to the next exit and pulled off. The coolant level didn’t drop much with the 2 mile drive.
I remember reading on here about a common issue with leak in the Hybrid system, but with a quick search, I couldn’t find much info.
The car drove fine. The hybrid engine was working and I saw the Hybrid power meter moving like normal. I was going to check the regular battery.
The vehicle is a 2006 RX400H.

Okay, it turns out that the hybrid radiator is cracked. When I go on rock auto, I can’t differentiate the hybrid radiator from the ICE radiator. Can anyone help?
EDIT: My mechanic found that a rock hit the radiator and cracked it. New radiators are ~$500. He took my radiator to get it repaired, and the repair ran about $90. Much cheaper than a new radiator. I am back up and running now.
