I've gotten so much good advice from you all...more questions...are you
suppose to just turn the key and the vanagon starts?  Sometimes when I turn
the key, it starts...other times it doesn't.  When it doesn't, I just step
on accelator a few times, and it starts.  Is this a sign of needing a new
starter or when it isn't used in awhile, you are suppose to give it gas
before you start?

Also I suspect I might have a major problem after reading some msgs from
list about coolant.  Never had any coolant leak that I know of.  Got smog
test and person showed me coolant leak under van when running.  Sure enough
after using I notice a coolant leak coming on right side of engine in van.
Also my coolant resvorior is now lower.  I took a mirror to look.  Since I
don't know much about cars, I see a small pinhole leak on this square metal
box.  It looks like the seam of metal box is where this pinhole leak is
from.  Oh no, is this major?
