I'm assuming that this is not normal? Correct -- that's not normal. Mine failed the same way. I have a loaner cap on my van from Mark Drillock which I have been meaning to find a replacement for so I can return his. His wasn't made for this engine so the outlet nipple points toward the driver's side of the van, necessitating extra bits of hose and hose clamps and stuff to connect it to the overflow reservoir's* hose. Looks like a moonshiner was at work down there. =========== * I know I'm probably using the wrong name. I always do. And someone always writes to correct me, which I appreciate. But like knowing that I /should/ be using "pelargonium" when I say "geranium," I ignore the advice anyway. -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 Type 2: the Wonderbus 84 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") 74 Utility Trailer.
