Hi everyone ,

        This evening Peggy and I came out of a restaurant and approached the van.
Peggy asked me, What is that dripping under the car.  I check the water
outlets but it was dry.  She said know here and put my hand just in front
of the back left tire.  I followed the drops up and found a buldge in the
undercoating.  I popped it with my finger and the water came pouring out!
What is going on?
        I had left the van out in the rain for the past few days.  The area in
front of the tire was pusched out with water.  How did it get in there?
How do I stop the water so I can put new undercoating there?
        This was weired has anyone else had this happen?

        Saddly on another front. I'm still experiancing a coolant leak even after
isolating the coolant coming out of the rear exchanger.  I'm hoping the VW
folks up in North Adams will be able to help once we move up there.
