Just make sure that it *is* the head.  It just might be the hose that
runs from the high pressure tank cap (I think it's that one)  where it
connects into the system on the right side.  Mine has started a small
leak there.  When I get home from my temporary assignment, I'll fix
mine.

I've read a few posts that say Barsleak works.  Some have posted that
it might clog the radiator works, but one of the other posters Steve T.???
said he's gotten mucho miles after with no trouble.
