    Did you do something similar to the crazy elbow piece near the coolant reservoir, too? I think it might be cast aluminum though.

    It did cross my mind...but I don't have anything to weld aluminum yet. Still rocking the rubber caps at that location. Should look into those silicone caps hahnmgh63 mentioned above. I go into panic mode when I start smelling coolant only to find the caps split again.
