Steaming Mad!

[Adam Gratz]

It feels like coolant, slippery, but no sweet taste. It's the Pentosin
blue, propylene glycol I believe, which may or may not taste sweet
like ethylene glycol does. Both things could be true at the same time,
leaking water from plugged drains and leaking heater core. The steam is
pretty dramatic. My wonder is, why would the heater core get hot if the
climate control is off?

I am very tempted to try stop leak, as much as I hate the idea. Any brand
you prefer?
