Dear vanagon list,

Last night I discovered a coolant leak on my engine. It appears to be on a
welded seam under behind a bolted-on metal panel close to the oil filter.
The drip amount is low, but enough that I can simply ignore it. Seems like
it would be possible to simply weld the leak shut, but I know little about
of these things. All I know it's possible to weld aluminum (with a TIG?) and
it appears like it would be a simple job.

Can any of you recommend a place that would do this in the Bay Area? Right
now my two mechanics are Karmakanix and the Buslab, but I'm open to
suggestions.

Perhaps I don't even need to get it welded and there's some form of
industrial "glue" that would do the job?

Ideas welcome!

Please reply to me directly at fryday@california.com as I don't often have a
chance to check my mail!
