Subject:      85 Vanagon Coolant leak
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

Hi again
I received a couple of kind answers to my query of last week about a coolant leak near the very rear of the engine. The 2 or 3 respondants basically told me not to worry about heads but to check pressure tank and connections etc. 
The tank and all connections are dry and clean. The leak is getting more serious. It seems to be coming from the area under the belts but I can't precisely point to its source. I don't know enough about components to know whether to suspect heads ?(replaned c. 5000 mi ago), water pump? (new at same time)...? Any insight?
Thanks 
Leo
