Hey Volks,
    The thermostat housing is dripping slightly on my 85, have any of
you had problems with that?  It looks like it is a hard place to reach
and I was also wondering if anybody had any hints on how to get it out.
Also, is there anyway to work on it without draining the whole coolant
system, and do you think it is just the gasket or could it be more?  I
can not see any cracks in the castings but...   The van has about
100,000 miles on it.

Thanks in Advance,

Stephen Davis
