Have you changed your coolant line from front to back? If you have a pin-hole leak in your main line, under pressure, it could leak. -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Jeff Palmer Sent: Friday, May 15, 2020 10:35 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Leaky rear heater Hi everyone. I had my rear heater replace a few weeks ago after noticing the smell of coolant. Didn't notice any leaks, until my mechanic told me he saw coolant dripping from the body. It must have been a pretty small leak.
It's been running fine with no smell since replacement but the other day i found a puddle on the ground underneath the rear bench area. I took the cover off and keep expecting to see it sitting there in a puddle of coolant but nothing. Is there anywhere else it might be leaking if it's not the heater itself?
Thanks Jeff 85 Westfalia |
