Just had my Westy serviced at my usual (and truly excellent) mechanic.  He
did an oil change and tune up (new fuel and air filter and plugs), coolant
flush and fill, a manual transmission drain and fill, new front brake pads,
machined the rotors, repacked and greased the wheel hubs.  Now for the
truly embarassing part.  I reported my suspected PS rack leak and asked for
a complete inspection of my coolant system.  It turns out my PS rack has no
leak.  A coolant pipe joint in the same area was leaking slowly but
obviously.  It was a very cheap fix.  I need to get some repair ramps so I
can get better access to the underside of my vehicle.  Oh well, all is well
that ends well.
