| Coolant Leak - Thermostat Bypass Bleed Valve Broken |
|
Had a coolant leak yesterday evening - went out to collect the mail and thought "what's that dripping sound?" - and there was the Landie sitting in a huge pool of coolant.
In the dark with a couple of lamps I found that the bleed valve positioned on the thermostat bypass loop had broken, I went to pull the other end out and it broke too. This is located under the removable engine cover.
I replaced it today with a brass fitting (probably temporarily as I think I'll order stainless steel bleed tee from Swagelok or someone like that), topped up the coolant, washed the engine, skid plates, and drive and now all is well.
