Hi folks,

        The bad news is that a coolant drip is happening under my bench.  I’m pretty sure it is the o ring and place the valve connects. 

I replaced the valve and the heater core in 2014 with the help of this list. 

        unfortunately I expect GW to take a long time to get me the part.  Also, wondering if there is a better o ring out there or a better solution. 

Does the one at VC fit and possibly have better longevity?

Also, in the meantime, rather then having a slow leak can I clamp one or more of the hoses to stop the leak without doing any harm?

Thanks for any tips.
