When I found a small puddle of coolant in front of the left tire, I thought head
gasket, no way. It ended up being the rear heater control leaking enough that in
ran across the body to the low side of my '84 Westy.   Upon inspection, it's
been leaking for quite awhile. Therefore I've removed the rear heater and
plugged and capped the two heater hoses.

So question is:  Is plugging those hoses in anyway a problem??  I remember
reading that listers had done this, but I'm curious as to any side effects from
do this? I can't see how the coolant circulation is any different than having
the rear heater valve closed, but has anyone who's done this had any issues with
their cooling system??

PS. Any of you northern tier guys need a rear heater? pmail me. Nice having the
extra storage under the bench seat.
