Have had a peaceful 6 months or so with out having to do too much to the 90
GL.   Then the other night as I pulled into the driveway at 2:30 AM), I see
this steam coming from under the van and simultaneously get the antifreeze
smell.  Decided to deal with itin AM

Come to find out that the 15mm(?) hose that runs from the metal coolant
pipe to over the tranny and points beyond, had dropped down far enough to
rub on two of the CV joint bellows and the drive axle.  Lord knows how long
that has been going on, but it finally wore a hole through the 1 year old
hose.  The quick fix was a Prestone  drain T valve T splice that allowed me
to get back on the road.  Anyone else had this happen?
