RE: Leak Developed



<x-charset iso-8859-1>The plastic flange on the side of the block you are talking about it plastic
and will warp after a while.  Go to the dealer and get a new one for less
than 10 bucks.  Also there is a rubber o-ring you will have to replace that
you will see once you pull the flange off. Make sure and get that also
becuase they get brittle with age.....If you jack the car up on the drivers
side a littke when you do it, that will keep you from loosing very much
coolant....I think it is held on by 2 13mm nuts.....

It may be that the Hoses are shot, you may want to visit our online
vendors of choice to get replacements. After all, how old are those
hoses, anyway?

Expect corrosion to have built up on the metal pipe fittings, this gunk
should be scraped off before (re)fitting the hoses back on.
