Interesting.

Well, in the spring, I am going to do my timing belt, water pump, tensioner & pulley, and and probably the idler pulley as well. So, if the leak is coming from the water pump, hopefully this will get fixed then.

I am also going to do the o-ring deal Tone talked of. I just spoke with Merlin about all this, and he said he has seen this o-ring leak before, and it is like a $5 part but it is difficult to get at because you have to remove the intake. Which means I will also be doing an intake manifold gasket replacment as well. So, hopefully this spring I will have both the time and money to do all this maintenance on my VX. The real issue, is that I would really like to do it all myself, but I am not sure I have the expertise/confidence to do jobs as involved as these.

I really need to find a trustworthy and competant mech here in Reno.
