My heater valve went from not shutting off (Friday) 
to leaking (today). While I'm waiting for a new valve,
can I just plug it? If so, what size widget am I seeking?

On the second startup after I noticed the leak, the
TR4 wouldn't start. My starter has been weak and is
on my list, but this wasn't a weak crank, it was silence.
A little push out of the parking space and it fired right
up. On arrival home, first try in the garage: dead. 
Second try, no nudge even, fired right up. 

Is it possible my solenoid or starter is waterlogged or
more likely these are coincidental? It may be worth 
noting our temperature in Denver today is 90 +/-.
