Subject:      Cooling system leak - where to start?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

Hi,

Since I flushed my '87 diesel panel van about 5 or 6 weeks ago, the temperature gauge slowly began creeping up. A quick check told me the water level in the tank was a bit low, so I filled it up again. That helped for a day and the temperature began creeping up again (and the water level was low again). Since it has been raining for a couple of days I couldn't tell if it was leaking, but it is (yesterday was a dry day). Tomorrow is saturday, so I've got some time to look for the leak. But where should I start? The tank seems to be OK, but I bet there's a weak spot somewhere that other Vanagon owners have discovered before me...

Any pointers, things to look for?

Thanks,

Peter.
