About 10 days ago I changed out my antifreeze in my '84 Westy.  Got rid of
the Sierra after 18 months and put in the VW blue stuff (G11) .105   Took a
while to find it.

This morning I glanced under the back of the van as yesterday was the first
good outing the van had had since the coolant change.   Ooooo... a small blue
puddle under the front of the engine!!
Visions of lots of work, rusty exhaust nuts etc, flash before me !!!
Upon closer inspection, I found the problem.  A small 3/8 hose going from the
metal pipe across the engine to a cross over and bleeder pipe was seeping a
little around the end.    The hose was dry rotted and nasty.   I replaced it
for 1 dollar.

It was only 18 years old too.....dont know what the world is coming to.

Much relieved,  Steve Cotsford
