On my 87 Syncro I appear to have a coolant leak at the #7 cylinder head
cap nut, rearmost right side under the power steering pump bracket.  Can
this be corrected by draining coolant, removing nut, inspecting and
cleaning nut/head/stud, applying new sealant, and reinstalling nut to
proper torque spec?

I have reviewed the various pages with Mr. Bentley, but any further
counsel on this situation would be appreciated.  Other questions:

1.  Where to purchase sealant specified in Bentley?  Dealer?  Alternative?
2.  Would it be wise to purchase a new nut?
3.  Is it prudent to repair this one nut without touching the rest of the
head, which does not appear to be leaking?

Thanks for any asssitance.  I sure am learning by doing this
