Subject:On the Road Again - NOT!

Took Ol' Red out for another run this morning. So I tooling down I-65
about 10 miles out of town when the low level warning light comes on. O
kept speed to maneuver through traffic to the side of the road and while
I'm maneuvering temp gauge needle rises so the bottom of the needle just
barely touches the top of the little flashing red light. Then I'm off
the road, engine off, and coasting to a stop. Stopped - I can hear water
gurgling/boiling but no steam. Then I look under the van and coolant is
pouring front the front of the driver-side rear tire to the rear of the
driver-side front tire.

Clearly - I have a cooling system issue.

God Bless AAA! They came to my rescue and Ol' Red is home. Now for
another round of Vanagon Ownership Fun and Games!!!
