Subject:      Winter storage leaking heads seals
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

 So every year (for last 15 years) when the 85 westy is put under the cover for winter I have watched for drips on the ground cover in the garage. There has always been some drips from both heads but not enough to cause panic. Years back my then new 85 GL tintop had drips right away but like the westy now the leaks would go away (not completely) when the weather warmed up. Anyway I just checked and there are bigger than normal-about a large shot glass full- drip stains this winter on the cardboard ground cover with coolant drops gathered on either side of engine tin and case. the coolant in bottle is below lower mark. Would new head gaskets & seals stop this annual event? If I remember from some ways back that the new seals available won't cure the original heads from leaking. Any suggestions or tips?
Sorry to be wearing this list out with my problems. Thanks.
