Vanagon concerns / Water leak on Pass side at block-- can I fix it in the van?
« on: February 03, 2009, 03:40:03 PM »
Did it bad- had a small leak, sealed it with Barr's stop leak in warm weather, forgot to add antifreeze, and had it blow on me while warming up in the driveway on an uder-20 morning. When I got back out to it, it had stalled, and was steaming, and had lots of water on the driveway. Still starts and runs (I had Mobil 1 oil in it, so hope the cylinders are OK-- I'll do a compression test), but now a very bad leak-- like an open faucet, I think only on the pass. side-- where the first leak was. Several Q's: Can I do it with the motor in the car? What source has the clearest instructions? If I can do one siede from under the car, and the second side turns out to need it, is the under-the-car fix so bad that I'll wishI had pulled it to do the whole job at once?
AND: What have people paid to have this job commercially done by a waterboxer specialist (cylinder seal, etc-- no head or cylinder work)?
Please give a price for doing one side, if you have had that done, or for both, and tell me if it's with the motor in or dropped down. THANKS
