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!
