In fact, it was the first thing I discovered damaged/broken after purchasing my '84 Westy this past March... nice green puddle all over rear carpet area which leaked out all over when parked on the hill at a friends house. Here's Ron's description, price, and number of the part: Bleeder, Rear Heater Core, Vanagon $1.99 861 819 039 Todd '84 Westy "Titania" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael J.
