Hi folks,

I've got a new one for y'all...I think I answer my own
question here, but I figured I'd drop a line, anyway.

My '72 MGB occasionally (about every other time I drive)
has a very small trickle which comes out of the heater
vent on the passenger side by the floor.  There is no 
evidence of a leak anywhere in the engine compartment,
so I'm assuming I have a pinhole in somewhere in the 
heater element.  Am I on the right track?

This leads me to my next question:  Is this repairable, 
or should I just elect for replacement?  New heaters
seem to be relatively expensive, and since I don't 
drive it in the winter, I was thinking about just 
bypassing the heater, for the time being.  (Don't 
worry...I'll do I right later...I just have other,
more pertinent things I'd like to do with the car
first.)  Would this be a big "no-no"?


Thanks in advance,

Jay
