Very good, will get it moved to the maintenance section at some point.

Note to all..........this is how you should investigate water leaks properly!

Worth adding that you cna remove the plenum and inlet and block the two throttle heater pipes off to get a better view of whats happening!

Needs teh following adding:

1) Do not exceed 18psi

2) Info about plenum etc removal with blocking of pipes to get better view of the possible leak areas.

You might want to add about keying the inside and out where the valve sits.  Epoxy doesnt bond to plastics very well (Debs knows why)
