[V8] Coolant Problems HELP!!!

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Only other thing you could do (and it worked for me) is to use a  
propane torch and heat up the plastic around the nipple so it gets  
hot enough to melt, but not so hot as to catch fire.  Only works if  
it's leaking around the nipple.  Other cracks -- no.
