ooofta!  the temperature here in the northeast dropped into the upper 
thirties last night....I went out to check the coolant level before starting
as usual and lo-and-behold it had dropped ten millimeters overnight.  No 
real big deal...then when I looked 'neath the westy there was a little 
puddle below those rear heater xtions I replaced in July.  Wouldn't you
know all those hose clamps were considerably looser than in July.  Now
I beleave we have added yet another step to the seasonal protocol for
all wasserboxer owners in the lands of seasonal temp changes.
