Cooling System

["S. J. Swift" <sjswift@cby.com>]

Question for the list.  My TR6 recently began to overheat and as I pulled off
the road and opened the hood, I found coolant leaking from the water valve
(that allows coolant to enter the heater box) and from the water pump.  Is
there anything that would account for near-simulataneous failures of these two
components?  It seems unlikely to me that this is a coincidence.

Thanks in advance for any input.
