Greetings fellow Vanagonauts, Last week after the "H" shaped piece next to the coolant tank sprang a leak, several listees helped me out and directed me to the GoWesty site, where a photo was posted of the piece I needed! Since there was no way it'd get here before I had to leave, I used some of the new silicone self-curing tape on the split plastic tube (where the geyser was originating from), and hoped for the best. A week later, and pulling several big hills, with an exploratory run across about 50 miles of interesting desert, for a total of about 700 miles since the temporary fix, I have lost not one drop of coolant! No, I don't own stock in the company, but I will keep some of that silicone tape in my toolbox from now on. I'm sure there are a lot of problems it won't fix, but it's right up there with duct tape and baling wire in my book!
