As I said in my post...

"Anyway, if you're in a cold climate, and you have this leaking cover, it would be a perfect time to install a block heater."

Since others have been suffering the same leak, not all in Hawaii.

I know - you put a smilie at the end - that's why I quoted salimshah.

Speaking of block heaters and warm climates, I should point out that some hypermilers use the block heater all year round. The reasoning is the vehicle will be that much closer to operating temperature and should get better gas mileage as a result.

Here's one interesting post along those lines..
