[s-cars] Disappearing aintifreeze

[Douglas Landaeta]

I also had a phantom leak at the back of the block - that plastic fitting to
the water hose was internally cracked and didn't show any external signs
except a loss of coolant of about 1/2 a quart every few weeks. Did the
fitting at the thermostat with a dealer part (now about $22), that rear
fitting and the turbo hose under the intake manifold and all is finally
tight.
