Subject: [TR] Small coolant leak
I have noticed a small coolant leak from my TR3 and have traced it to the h=
andle assembly of the water drain tap on the side of the block. Anyone else=
had this issue? It's a new tap and don't know what the fix might be. It's =
not leaking from where the tap threads into the block... Thanks in advance =
for any BTDT advice...
