Subject:Radiator Leak

'85 Vanagon.  Noticed a water leak under the radiator last Friday.  Took off
the lower grill and saw a steady drip from the radiator every second or 2,
which stopped as the van cooled.  Question:  I'm  in a town 400 miles from
home.  Do you think it is safe to drive the van this far, through the Nevada
desert, knowing that there is a small leak.  I talked to a shop in town, and
they said labor would be $160-180 to repair, plus the radiator part.  It
might be worth the risk to remove and replace once I get home.  Comments?
