Fix the leak (change the hose) and you will know. In any case, you have to fix the leak no matter what. And did you test/change the resistor as suggested previously? http://www.contour.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=trouble&Number=1125947&page=&view=&sb=5&o=&fpart=all&vc=1 "Always do the cheap and easy ones first." 1996 V6 ATX 96K miles
