Subject:      Re: Coolant Vapor and Liquid In Exhaust

list:


crack explaination makes sense, but leak would likely be greater hot.
crack itself would tend to open up, not close, when hot, and more high
pressure coolant would be available to flow through crack.


hopefully, stop leak stuff can provide a seal to fix problem. that would
be my first "crack" at the problem. i think there are some products that
are more or less permanent, and they may require a more elaborate
procedure than just dumping in some goop.
