I have considered the possible leak in the heater. And I did try the fan
this morning to see if I could smell antifreeze and I didn't. I sure hope
it isn't. In fact, I'd much rather have it be a head gasket problem rather
than the heater as the fix would be much easier.
But then I could always add some egg whites to my coolant. It worked for
MacGuyver to plug bullet holes in a jeep radiator. I know - it was TV :)
