yup,  the rubber and metal interface parts seem to fail more often in
the cold (duh?).

I mentioned the clutch master and slave as they failed on me when it
was cold.

Yeah.  I bet I don't shovel the snow around the Vanagon as often as I
should.  And I bet it's going to be very cold working on it if I have
to.  There's a faint coolant smell right now that apparently I'm
going to have to get underneath to look for.  Not the head-to-
aquarium seal, it's not cold enough yet for that to drip.

Yrs,
