[C320-list] Repairing Water Muffler

[Peter & Barbara Sheerin]

Bill I seem to have a leak from muffler again. We previously checked for 
leaking, and found a leak from one of the bolt down holes. We re glassed the 
hole and re located it. I don't know if this is the same problem. Maybe you 
can give me some clues. Peter Sheerin #1096
