you can take the valve to a local rad shop and they should be able to test it. sounds like it might be the O-ring(most likely leak spot) and it will come out with out removing the whole assembly. I found a control valve on e-bay a few uears back that someone had soldered up the end and removed all the mechanism making it into a tube with a 90 degree bend and the mounting hardware. I can dig it up if you want to give it a try. you could hook up a manual valve in the engine compartment to turn it off and onn wehn necessary.

Hello,
Mine was leaking, so I bypassed it for the summer and forgot about it. Now I could use heat/defrost again, and I've piddled away the whole summer without fixing anything. So I just hooked everything up again and took a look.
When I crawl up under the dash, I notice no obvious leaks until I push the heat lever over to hot. Then water practically pours out from around the mounting bracket for the heater control valve. I would think that is my problem. The passenger floor is dry. The driver floor has several weak/rotted places where antifreeze got to it, and coolant drips on my shoe when it's on the gas pedal.
Question 1: Can you replace the heater control valve without taking the whole dang heater box apart? Looks like I can disconnect the heater hose and remove two screws on the flange and pull it out. I know there's an O ring seal where it fits into the core, which I can probably get at the hardware store.
Question 2: I found a used control valve and heater core on Ebay a few months ago, which appear to be OK. No way to tell if the valve is good unless I install it, right?
Question 2: Is there any relatively easy way to take the control valve out of the loop? Just run hose directly to the core or something? I don't mind having hot water in the core all the time or whatever. Don't mind it staying warm in the car. I had a '49 Hudson with an after-market Arvin heater once, and it kept hot water in it all the time unless I turned two knobs on some rigged up bypass in the hoses under the hood, which took the heater out of the coolant loop.
Thanks,
