We have a very slight leak of coolant from the heat exchanger on the engine. It obviously needs a new gasket fitted. I'd like to do this myself and wonder if anyone has done this on a Volvo 55hp. Any tips, hints or dodges would be gratefully received. Not sure if it's a difficult job & best left to a technician if specific & important torque settings are need on the bolts. It's not urgent just annoying.
