Never a dull day in vanagon land, even when they are just sitting there. I go to take out the trash, and discover that my 85, which has been sitting un-driven for 3 days, is leaking coolant out of the very top of the overflow tank. It's never done this before. I'm parking in a new location, which leaves the back left of the van downhill (perhaps 6 inches lower than the front) and in the sunshine. So my guess is that the thermal cycles of day/night, coupled with a small leak somewhere, are letting air in the system? Anyone have clue where to look? It has no leaks when running otherwise. |
