Subject:water leaking and power loss?
From:David Hicks

Seems my van has been a little sluggish lately. Noticed the first signs off
coolant on my garage floor this evening. Has anyon else noticed this type of
connection before? Does it make sense, with a leak in the head gasket to have
a decrease in power? No signs of water mixed with the oil yet. 106,000 miles.
I'm thinking of trying the Barrs leak additive first, but sounds like I might
be inline for a reseal, at least, and possibly even having the heads redone or
replaced. Has anyone else had good luck with a coolant additive to stop the
leaking?
TIA,
