Hi all, I am en route from Boston To Boulder in my new (to me) '90 Syncro Westy. Coming through St. Louis my coolant warning light came on. After immediately pulling over I discovered that the coolant in the main coolant take had fallen below the sensor thus tripping my light. The van was not overheating, and I found no leaks. BUT, the expansion tank is nearly overflowing! What is going on?? Is this a coolant cap issue?? Also, my clutch will not completely dis-engage. There is a slight tendancy for the van to move when in neutral. Depressing the clutch reduces but does not eliminate this tendancy. I had planned on making it home to Boulder(850mi) before addressing this problem ans I do not need to do much shifting on the highway. Is this a good idea?? Or should I hole up in St. Louis and have it repaired? Any reccomendations for repair in St. Louis?? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated! I will be spending the night in the library parking lot and will be checking my mail first thing in the morning. Please respond to cz137@aol.com, as I am not following the list. Thanks a million! Cory '90 Syncro Westy
