Subject:      cold weather leaks
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII


Hi Volks,


I have just noticed that when the weather turned cold, I devlope a
coolant leak in my engine. When you wun the van for a bit, the leak
stops (best I can tell) and does not return till the temp drops in the
lower 30's. I can see a small puddle of coolant on the top of the
moter by the heads on each side, but I cannot find the leak to save
me. I have tried feeling around the hoses, but I can't find any
source of the leak. It's not a lot of coolent, maybe a 1/4 cup at
most, if that much.


Has anyone else had this happen?


Thanks in advance!
