By-pass valve?

Sanity check before I order a new part. Here are the symptoms:
- Coolant leaking on the garage floor when cabin temp is set between HI and LO.
- Coolant stops leaking when temp is set to HI or OFF.
- It appears the leak is coming from the by-pass valve area (I called it a heater control valve on my old C900).
- The leak is more like a steady trickle if the ACC isn't OFF or set to HI. Reservoir level dropped about a quarter inch or so after 10 minutes idling in my driveway.
Is this a DIY type repair or should I take it to the dealer? Two part numbers are listed in the EPC (5048830 "Water Valve" and 4396172 "By-pass valve"). I'm assuming it's the -8830 because that lists for $286 while the -6172 lists for $44.
I can't find replacement instructions in the WIS.
