I've looked in the Bentley, but this part is too small to be mentioned I think. There's a coolant hose that runs from the expansion tank to a diamond shape fitting on the right cylinder head. This "diamond" piece is about 2 inches wide, and the hose attaches in the middle. THis description isn't very precise, but I hope someon knows what I'm talking about. ANyway, there's coolant leaking at the point where this piece meets the cylinder head. Do I need to replace this piece, or is there a gasket between this piece and the head? I've been told that this piece can break (is it plastic?), but as I said, I don't really know what to call it. I think somethinge may have happened in the cold yesterday to cause this problem. By the way, it's an '87. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. david
