[Supras] Leak

[Martin Dubois]

Thanks for the hint.  As for the coolant R&R, that was done last fall when I 
had the water pump gasket redone.  It would make sense that it may be the 
drain cock that's leaking... It more than likely didn't enjoy being 
disturbed when the system was flushed.

I'll take a look at that when I get home tonight.  Thanks!

Marty
