Re: AC condensation drain and coolant leak

["Jim Reeve" <ultra@xxxx>]

I have pointed out the water drain tube in a photo I have in the 
FILES section of YahooGroups. It is called AC_Accumulator.jpg. 
You'll note that mine is pointed down. I did that. When I first got 
the car it was resting horizontally on the frame, and was also 
plugged.

As for your coolant leak, you may want to check the heater hoses 
coming out of the back of the engine, or the aluminum coolant pipe 
where the ribbed heat stove pipe passes by it. Its possible 
vibration could have filed a pinhole leak into the coolant pipe. It 
did with my car.
