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 b=
e. It's not leaking from where the tap threads
into the block... Thanks in advance for any BTDT advice... </p>
