Yesterday I noticed a small amount of coolant has been leaking from my
1.9Lmotor.
As I recall this happened over the winter last year too (Minnesota). When I
saw this last year
I thought maybe my head gaskets were shot, but I after the weather warmed up
a bit I changed the oil
right away, and things were fine the rest of the year.  BTW, I'm using an
orange Dexcool equivalent, and
have been doing a partial replacement every year which seems to keep it
looking pretty fresh.
Last spring I replaced it all when I changed a couple of hoses.

The Van is stored under a tarp all winter with a trickle charger going to
keep the battery alive.  I won't
crank it again until spring, and once again will change the oil and filter
right away.

Has anyone else experienced a temporary leak associated with cold weather
storage?

Should I drain the coolant before putting it away for the winter?

Thanks,

Tom L
