It's an epidemic!!!!!..........

I had a low coolant level alarm last night on the way home. Topped off the coolant bottle which was only a 1/2-inch low, looked for visible sources of the leak, found none and wondered about the Heater By-Pass Valve.
Tonight I drove home without incident and parked the car in the drive way. 30 minutes later I started the car and backed up only to see three puddles under the car - two from the A/C drains and a big green one right in the middle!
Fortunately for me I have a new by-pass valve sitting in the garage as well as a new pair of the same Sears hose pliers you bought. Needless to say this has been one of my "I really ought to do this some day" jobs for the past year.
Now I just have to wait and hope the engine cools before the sun sets tonight.
