Hi
any idea where else it can leak ( no rust enywere , no holes )
i have used selicone to wrap all over heater matrix ( box)
but every time i'm in the car wash i have smole leak to the pass side flore, tiny one but steel unplesant
so should i get new gasket on the heater box
unscrew 4 nutts from the engine side
drop heater box down
put new gasket and try all over again and shut up :D
