Hi all.


As I was advised, inspected both expansion tanks. Pass. side tank
grommet had held ok with epoxy. But the driver side, well .....

really even a repair for that matter. This was done earlier in my
Vanagon "career".


More here showing crazing and crack.

You really have to look close and carefully push on the plastic to
inspect. The area that shows crazing was quite soft.  (wear from water
off tire?)


Thankfully I have a spare tank though it's been repaired with a brake
bleeder and Goop. It will be replaced post haste.


Enjoy!


Neil.
