My sort-a-new 1986 Vanagon is overheating. After heating up, steam forms from the left side of the motor. It steams up, but I don't see where its coming from. No water leaking that I can see. Does this sound like the dreaded head gasket situation? Can I changed them my self in a weekend? I am mechanically inclined. Any info would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks, zyno |
