    Anyone else experienced this? It must have contained about 1/4 pint! I'm in UK outside temp about 10 degrees C, although we have recently had some below freezing temps.

    This has been reported by other Prius owners. The leak may be caused by one or more of the following:

    1. A leak in a body seam along the hatch opening
    2. A taillight gasket
