Totally non-mechanical person also trying to trouble shoot no heat. Will someone explain where under the hood I would look to find that part to check it? And maybe what I'd be checking for and how?

Thanks

Edit ---

Found a clue in another thread. It's to the rear of the distributor cap. Mine appears to not be leaking.
