I have a 1999 4runner coolant leak. I get a little puddle on the driveway every morning. It's not coming from the radiator hoses. Could it be the headgasket?
Is there a recall on the headgasket for a 1999 4 runner? The 4runner has about 130k miles.

The leak is coming from the back of the engine. Could it be the heater hoses?

Yes, it could be a heater hose or a small coolant line. The best way to check it is to pressure test the system. You'll probably be able to locate the leak this way.
FWIW, there has NEVER been a recall for the head gasket. Toyota had a Special Service Campaign (SSP V06) for head gaskets. This was a special warranty; recalls are for safety issues.

HG recall was for the 3.0 and 14K of the first 3.4 engines.
I second the pressure check.
