You and me both, which is why I'm scratching around trying to fix it on the cheap

Anyway, did you guys work out how that cooler line started leaking in the first place? I don't know about these boxes but it looks like a flared pipe and nut, and they don't usually just come loose.

No idea. The car had been fine, and well serviced while the son was still an the Army. He did take it off-road a lot, and he and I got humungously bogged one day, so it's possible it got knocked. Don't think he's got any enemies. Or, if he does, they're probably in Iraq.

Thanks for the update John. Any tips on getting a 'box through?
