Pedro,

This exact thing just happened to our 90 Westy!   Rustproofed the
whole rear hatch, bumper, muffler...

I just replaced the rear sensor (behind the water pump pulley) and all is well!

Now I need to replace the other one before it starts leaking.

Someone previously mentioned a leak of the same kind from the low
pressure sensor (under the left side cylinders), so it does happen.

90 Westy
