[s-cars] Hemorrhaging!

[Thomas R Green]

There was a recent thread on QW discussing tools/parts to always carry  
in the
vehicle.  This part made the top of the list along with the water  
temperature sensor
"T" and plastic flange for the heater hose at the back of the head,  
and assorted
water hoses.

Your failure is not an isolated event, but a very common one.
