Congratulations on finding the leak. I would not have much confidence in a=
ny epoxy. The area would need to be impeccably clean including inside the a=
ctual crack & the block gets very hot. I wonder if it might be a candidate =

Wayne,Thank you. That sounds very similar to my situation. Not quite sure t=

a block weakness and I get lucky with a similar fault.rg
