Subject:Re: Leaky rear heater

Could it be the mechanic didn't mop up all the old coolant seeping around
under the back bench - seems to me the floor of the box around the rear
heater is concealed by thin particle board and hard to clean underneath it
- perhaps coolant could have been hiding under the heater or particle board
and then shifted / flowed to a visible  area?
