Yup. Actually, all of these potential leak spots certainly benefited

Thanks for the <thumbs up>. Believe me, I was grinning from ear to
ear when I finally plugged the leak! I failed to mention that I took
the 944 to a ****sche shop and an independent mechanic, both of whom
failed to find the leak. That made my success all the sweeter! If I
can save someone else the trouble that I went to, so much the better.
