Hi folks,
Please excuse my ignorance on an already over-discussed subject but I
just don't get it
Why are wasser boxer leaking ? Is it a bad design in the gasket or is it
the heads ? When changing head gasket, is it acceptable to have present
heads rebuilt instead of buying new ones ? If yes, can any specialist do
it or are VW heads so different that the local guy would not do  a
proper job ?

If a leak is suspected, how can Barleak or other stuff help...for how
long? any side effects on cooling system?

My van doesn't seem to have any leaks but I notice that my refill tank
was at the minimum mark after having been filled up two weeks ago.  It
seem to have dropped in a matter of a couple of days after being stable
for a couple odf week. Is it normal to add coolant here and there...or
should the coolant always stay at the same level ?

Thanks
