One of the plastic over flow tanks on my 1979 DD 671N's has developed a leak at the barb on the bottom of the tank where the hose from the closed cooling reservoir pressure cap overflow connects. I have called the local DD dealer and they want $137 for this little plastic tank ... which seems excessive to me. Has anyone had a similar leakage problem? Mine only drips a few drops of coolant a week. I'm thinking about removing the tank, draining it, let it dry and then try to repair the barbed fitting with PVC pipe adhesive. Does anyone have any other thoughts? Or does anyone have one of these tanks that you have removed and may want to sell?? As usual ... thanks guys!
