While my Westy was at the muffler shop today, they took me out back and
raised the van on the lift for me to look at the problems with my
exhaust.  While I was under there, I took a good look around.  I want
one of those lifts at home!!!  It was so great to be able to walk around
underneath the van and get a really good look at everything under the
van.  I found a leaky hose and found that the wiring to my horn is
pretty much shot.

There is a pair of small metal hoses that run from the front to the back
right near the fuel pump and filter.  One of them had a short (3-4")
rubber hose that was slowly leaking some kind of oil.  Are these lines
for the oil cooler for my auto transmission?  I know that they put a new
oil cooler in for the tranny when it was replaced a few years ago.  I
had the exhaust guy go ahead and check the rubber hose (it was okay) and
tighten the clamps a little.

RE: the horn wiring:  Where's a good source for the horn wiring
harness?  I had thought that my horn sounded a little wimpy, but I don't
know as I had any idea what it was supposed to sound like.  So, I want
to replace the wiring . . . part of that wholesale parts replacement
that Stan's always talking about . . .  :^)

Thanks again all!  This list has gotta be the best resource for this
kind of information.  I'd be lost without you all.
