Default Maggie Water Reservoir Leaked and caused...

my tachometer to go bonkers. I only drive my Vette on weekends and never thought to check the water level. After removing the tank I noticed a pinhole - literally - in the front, midway along the bottom seam of the tank. Ya'll may want to keep this in mind.
I have an Optima with the upper posts and wonder if the coolant allowed a short across them?
After fixing the hole and drying everything, the tach works fine - so far.

Yet another reason I'm glad I have the non-intercooled kit.
