   Yes, I wish I would have seen the failure point.  I didn't realize they could   
   even fail in that manner.   
      
   The radiator overflow was overflowing with that brown milky looking stuff and   
   the one large hose snapped in half.  It must have been some serious pressure   
   and too much fluid in the line.   
      
   It was hard to see in there with all that goop all over the place.  What a   
   mess!
