Hi all
Well about a month ago I kept getting this strong smell of antifreeze
in my 85 westi with the Zetec conversion. So, I had looked everywhere
for this antifreeze issue that would not show up anywhere. No Drips,
No leaks, NO change in Levels of coolant, NO nothin.
Well it is end of the camp season here in South eastern Michigan so
it is time to pull all the Mac and cheese and smore makins and all
that crap that you don't want the mice to find during the winter.

Well I found the source of my Coolant Antifreeze smell. The "Hungary
Jack Maple Syrup" was laying on its side in a cabinet and leaking
from the cabinet it was in to the lower cabinet. Can you say "Sticky
Mess"!!! Yuck! Well I guess it is time for a clean up! Now I know why
the Yellow Jackets love the inside of my Vanagon.

So, If you get That smell of antifreeze coolant in your Bus Check not
only Coolant buy where the Pancake Syrup is.

Just a helpful hint for all you out there.
