    Whats the matrix made from???
    Never seen a TD5 one but any other block mounted matrix is made from stainless steel so corrosion is never an issue, it's the housings that leak being made from relatively low grade die cast alloy like thermo housings etc.

    Now you have a bigger, better cooler for about half the price of a new original.
