Leaky door lock actuator - which one?

[mike mcclurg]

Great place to use the Mighty Vac. Just unplug the
individual lines at the tees near the vac pump and
pull vacuum or put pressure on each indivually. Found
my leak was from a rotten plastic line under the
carpet under the front passenger seat.
Good luck.

'89 100q (locks work great now except for occasional
loose connection at the pump)
'85 4ksq
