As I pulled out the back seat of my Westy I discovered a long-hidden coolant leak. The slow leak is coming from what I believe to be the control valve for the rear heater. I didn't even know there was one. Can't find a picture of this part in my Bentley, so I'm appealing to the list to confirm my suspicions. The leak seems to be coming from behind the control lever (aluminum) itself. Is this something that is fixable with a new seal, or is this part notorious for leaking and needs to be replaced in total? TIA, Drew Bedford 83.5 Westy Park City, Utah |
