Jeff:


A timely post.  The Hyena has just emerged from hybernation {only in
Canada do Hyenas Hybernate ;-) } and I also
appear to have a leaky rear heater ... though I think mine may be at the
valve (or the line from engine compartment coming forward to the valve).


Has anyone bother trying to flush these heaters ... or once I have
things apart, should I skip directly to replacing the core?
