Subject:Cooling system leak - where to start?
From:Peter van Marwijk

Hi,

Since I flushed my '87 diesel panel van about 5 or 6 weeks ago, the
temperature gauge slowly began creeping up. A quick check told me the water
level in the tank was a bit low, so I filled it up again. That helped for a
day and the temperature began creeping up again (and the water level was
low again).
Since it has been raining for a couple of days I couldn't tell if it was
leaking, but it is (yesterday was a dry day). Tomorrow is saturday, so I've
got some time to look for the leak.
But where should I start? The tank seems to be OK, but I bet there's a weak
spot somewhere that other Vanagon owners have discovered before me...

Any pointers, things to look for?

Thanks,

Peter.
