Hello Group!
Does anyone have words of wisdom about what would be likely to be the cause of a "gusher" of a coolant leak on an old diesel vanagon?  We're not talking "drip, drip, drip"; we're talking a steady stream from somewhere on the other side of the belly tin. Where do cracks tend to occur on this engine and in this application?  All the cracks I've seen in this engine in Rabbits occur at the head bolts and result in immediate loss of the seal at the cylinder head.  On the leaking Vanagon this seal seems to be intact....?  Any feedback will be much appreciated!  Thanks!
Allan
