I don't think the leak is severe since I've only had to add fluid (distilled water BTW) when I added a gallon capacity heat exchanger and separated the coolant system. None before or after. That's the reason I'm a bit perplexed by the goo. But goo doesn't lie. I guess I'm going shopping. Any ideas where to find one or leads will be appreciated.

My apologies Les, I knew you added the HE and the goo is really green in the picture so I just assumed you went with the generic green stuff. You are the first person I've heard of losing an IC with the factory coolant so far and with the number of miles on your ride, this makes absolutely no sense. I'll call the depo tomorrow and see if the price is current and if you want me to get it on it's way to you, shoot me a PM with your address so I can find out what shipping is.

Take care
