Re: coolant expansion tank leak

[thyrsted@olsy.dk (Kenn Thyrsted Nielsen)]

Just ordered a new one this morning.
Had the problem once last summer, but it seemed to stop by itself.
- Yes, i do suspect that the former owner have dumped something in the
coolant.
As it have reappered i thought i would save myself a lot of trouble and
replace it with a new one.
Should have it tomorrow; price <50$ (< 500 dkr.).
Hopefully i wouldn't have to check the coolant level all the time.
