Ah ha! Case of a Bad Heater Valve >>>

Carl,
I hate to tell you this, but that sounds for all the world like a leaking heater valve. My '84 900S had this not long after I bought it (used, of course). The only fix is to replace the heater valve. There is a good bit of info on the repair, if you're handy with a wrench, on this website (in the FAQ section). I'll link it below. (I found it helpful, since I'm 6-foot-3, to do the simple removal of the driver's seat prior to replacing the heater valve. It makes access much easier & more comfortable, as I could take off my shoes and put up my feet on the rear seat.)
Hope this helps!
