technicians at 2 different dealerships have bled it Well, then I have nothing more to say about that.
(The real question is whether or not I will actually get my *** out there and do it, especially now that I live on campus and have only used my car twice in the last 2 weeks).
...
I didn't intend to downplay the damage by any means (obviously, as I posted a picture of it). I simply meant that it was ONLY bending/ [severe] smushing of the fins, not a leak or any way for debris to have entered the system. I agree though, I should have been a little more accurate with my description, my apologies.
As for the liquid you see on the bellypan, to quote Mr. Boucher, it was simply some "high quality H2O". It was winter and there had been some periodic snow-melt induced wet spots during my drive to the shop. The body tech, shop manager, and myself all tested the fluid using a highly accurate scientifical test, commonly known on the streets as a "sniff test", and the results were unanimous that it was water, not coolant.

, and the results were unanimous that it was water, not coolant.I just wanted to make sure the dealers/bodyshop DIDN'T Yoda mind trick you to accepting/thinking it was just some minor fins bending when it was obviously more so.
Oh?.. I thought that method was outlawed.
> Is that why we sometimes see mechanics walking around in a daze... They been "testing" too many vehicles' liquids/vapor??
