I've checked in local stores with no luck. What is it called? And

can I
get it?

I'm loosing coolant. Tracy and others have suggested that it may be
a
failing
combustion chamber/coolant jacket o-ring - the combustion gasses
pressurizing
the coolant.

Before I take the engine apart, I want to be sure that that really
is
the case.
