Subject:      84 GL rear passenger auxiliary heater

I have a water leak from the little heater under the rear passenger seat. I replaced the plastic tap and washer as per the Technical Bulletin. However there is now a bigger leak from elsewhere. The tech bulletins mentioned another cause as being the T-piece from the feeder hose to the main hose, but I cannot see how that can cause a leak inside the car since as far as I can tell the T-pieces are outside?

How likely is it to be the radiator matrix itself, and where would I get a replacement - main dealer only?

BTW I am really pleased with this heater. The front heater does not seem to duct towards the back as it did in the aircooled (vents on the floor between the 2 front seats). Is this for all watercooleds or only the ones with a rear heater?
