Joseph,

Recently I had a similar leak in my '85.  I've torqued down the thermostat
housing bolts and the leak went away.  Boy, that was a relief!

Chris.

Subject: Leaking thermostat housing

Hi List,

I just went outside on this lovely Colorado morning to have a cup of coffee
and marvel at my '85 Vanagon GL, and noticed a very small antifreeze
puddle...It's leaking around the thermostat housing/waterpump seam, blowing
down onto the oil filter.

Is this a sign of a bad waterpump or what?  Any ideas are greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe T.
'85 GL
