Well I took the TR8 out for a short spin a couple days ago. I was just going to see if the battery was up but it started and...oh well.[:D] So last Fall I knew the tach had stopped working and spotted a weep out of the water pump. Now I have coolant coming out somewhere under the expansion tank. Amazing how things can run amuck while they are sleeping.[:(]

Expansion tank leak could be coolant probe (if you have it) or as in my case a pin hole in the seam. I noticed it a water bubble under the paint. Not a concern at the moment but I'll resolder the seam if I have time this spring.
